62Good

Best window 16:00 – 18:00

Good (62) — best around ⁦16:00–18:00⁩, thanks to dawn or dusk light, a major solunar period, falling pressure.

  • Feels like ⁦0.0°⁩ around 19:00.
    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 40 kn around 20:00.
    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.
