Conditions at a glance
What stood out in the forecast
Wind
Good10 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
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
Good8%
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
Fair28°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
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
Good1012 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
FairUV 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.
