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 1.2° around 08:00.
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 35 kn around 12:00.
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.
