59Good

Best window 17:00 – 18:00

Good (59) — best around ⁦17:00–18:00⁩, thanks to a major solunar period, dawn or dusk light, falling pressure.

  • Feels like ⁦0.4°⁩ around 14:00.
    Why we say thisApparent temperature combines cold and wind chill. Near freezing, exposure sets the length of a session more than the fish do.
  • Gusting 41 kn around 15:00.
    Why we say thisGusts, not average wind, are what capsize a kayak and spoil a cast. Above 30 kn most shore and small-craft fishing stops being pleasant.
