Good

Best window 08:00 – 10:00

Good (55) — best around ⁦08:00–10:00⁩, thanks to a major solunar period, dawn or dusk light, falling pressure.

Feels like ⁦1.8°⁩ around 09:00.
Why we say this
Apparent temperature combines cold and wind chill. Near freezing, exposure sets the length of a session more than the fish do.
Gusting 34 kn around 09:00.
Why we say this
Gusts, not average wind, are what capsize a kayak and spoil a cast. Above 30 kn most shore and small-craft fishing stops being pleasant.
