Good

Best window 16:00 – 18:00

Good (64) — best around ⁦16:00–18:00⁩, thanks to dawn or dusk light, a major solunar period, falling pressure.

Feels like ⁦0.3°⁩ around 21:00.
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 40 kn around 21:00.
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.
