Good

Best window 09:00 – 11:00

Good (65) — best around ⁦09:00–11:00⁩, thanks to a major solunar period, dawn or dusk light, moving water.

Gusting 34 kn around 03:00.
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.
