Best window 22:00 – 00:00
Good (57) — best around 22:00–00:00, thanks to a major solunar period, dawn or dusk light, falling pressure.
- Feels like 1.1° around 15:00.
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 38 kn around 15:00.
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.
