Good

Best window 22:00 – 00:00

Good (61) — best around ⁦22:00–00:00⁩, thanks to a major solunar period, moving water, falling pressure.

Gusting 41 kn around 13:00.
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.
