Conditions at a glance
What stood out in the forecast
Wind
Fair11 kt · BF 4
Sustained to 11 kt · gusts to 22 kt · BF 6
Beaufort 6 — 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.
Rain
Good5%
0.0 mm total · 5% 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
Poor34°C
Air 25–34°C · feels like 25–37°C
Feels-like 25–37°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
Good10 nm
Lowest 10 nm · best 25 nm today
Generally clear sightlines (about 19.0–25 nm). Good for spotting traffic and shoreline references — still verify charted marks; glare and spray can fool you even on “clear” days.
Barometric pressure
Good1011 hPa
1011 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 8.1
Very high index — limit bare-skin time on deck. · peak near 14:00
UV 8.1 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.
