Best window 16:00 – 18:00
Good (66) — best around 16:00–18:00, thanks to dawn or dusk light, a major solunar period, moving water.
- Feels like -1.5° around 20:00.
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 47 kn around 20:00.
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.
