Good (58) — best around ⁦10:00–11:00⁩, thanks to a major solunar period, falling pressure, a light breeze.

Feels like ⁦31°⁩ around 23:00.
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 32 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.
