Best window 17:00 – 18:00
Good (58) — best around 17:00–18:00, thanks to a major solunar period, dawn or dusk light, falling pressure.
- Feels like 1.1° around 14:00.
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 39 kn around 11:00.
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.
