56Good

Best window 17:00 – 18:00

Good (56) — best around ⁦17:00–18:00⁩, thanks to a major solunar period, dawn or dusk light, moving water.

  • Feels like ⁦0.8°⁩ around 13:00.
    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 39 kn around 13:00.
    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.
