Conditions at a glance

What stood out in the forecast

Wind

Good

6 kt · BF 3

Sustained to 6 kt · gusts to 12 kt · BF 4

Beaufort 4 — a workable breeze for most day sails. Watch for funneling between headlands and tall buildings near harbors; local gusts can exceed the open-water forecast.

Rain

Good

0%

0.0 mm total · 0% peak chance · 0 wet hour(s)

Little rain expected — one less factor stealing visibility and grip on deck. Still pack a light jacket; conditions change faster on the water than ashore.

Air temperature

Poor

33°C

Air 27–33°C · feels like 26–33°C

Feels-like 26–33°C with spray — dress for immersion, not the marina thermometer. Cold shock and hypothermia are real risks if someone goes overboard; carry spare layers in a dry bag.

Visibility

Good

22 nm

Lowest 22 nm · best 25 nm today

Generally clear sightlines (about 40.4–25 nm). Good for spotting traffic and shoreline references — still verify charted marks; glare and spray can fool you even on “clear” days.

Barometric pressure

Good

1020 hPa

1020 hPa → steady

Pressure is steady — no strong synoptic system pushing through on this snapshot. Local wind, sea breeze, and geography still dominate near shore.

UV / sun

Fair

UV 7.7

High index — plan sun protection before you leave the dock. · peak near 14:00

UV 7.7 is elevated. Cloud cover does not block all UV — protect skin and eyes, especially on white decks and sails.
