Conditions at a glance
What stood out in the forecast
Wind
Fair11 kt · BF 4
Sustained to 11 kt · gusts to 21 kt · BF 5
Beaufort 5 — manageable for experienced crews but not relaxing. Reef before open water, plan a route with lee shore options, and expect harder docking and mooring picks.
Seas
Good0.0 m
Significant wave height 0.0 m
Relatively modest seas today (swell ~0.0 m). Still evaluate harbor entrance and wind against any tidal stream using local pilot notes.
Rain
Good4%
0.0 mm total · 4% 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
Fair28°C
Air 22–28°C · feels like 22–29°C
Feels-like 22–29°C once wind and humidity count. Layer so you can cool off in sun and warm up when wet; shivering crews make poor decisions.
Visibility
Good5.4 nm
Lowest 5.4 nm · best 5.4 nm today
Generally clear sightlines (about 10.0–5.4 nm). Good for spotting traffic and shoreline references — still verify charted marks; glare and spray can fool you even on “clear” days.
Barometric pressure
Good1010 hPa
1010 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
PoorUV 8.8
Very high index — limit bare-skin time on deck. · peak near 13:00
UV 8.8 is very high — water reflection adds exposure you do not feel on land. Broad-spectrum SPF, hat, lip protection, and hydration reduce fatigue; consider shade breaks if you are out all day.
