What stood out in the forecast

Wind

Good

10 kt · BF 4

Sustained to 10 kt · gusts to 18 kt · BF 5

Beaufort 5 — 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.

Seas

Good

0.0 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

Good

8%

0.0 mm total · 8% 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

Fair

28°C

Air 26–28°C · feels like 26–31°C

Feels-like 26–31°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

Good

5.4 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

Good

1012 hPa

1012 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 7.2

High index — plan sun protection before you leave the dock. · peak near 13:00

UV 7.2 is elevated. Cloud cover does not block all UV — protect skin and eyes, especially on white decks and sails.
