Good

Best window 09:00 – 11:00

Good (63) — best around ⁦09:00–11:00⁩, thanks to dawn or dusk light, a major solunar period, falling pressure.

Feels like ⁦0.2°⁩ 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 40 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.
