Conditions at a glance

What stood out in the forecast

Wind

Good

8 kt · BF 3

Sustained to 8 kt · gusts to 17 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

2%

0.0 mm total · 2% 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

Good

22°C

Air 19–22°C · feels like 16–22°C

Comfortable air temperatures for deck work, but water temperature may still be much colder — a dip without proper gear can shock even on a warm day.

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

1024 hPa

1024 hPa → steady (2 hPa change)

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

UV / sun

Good

UV 4.9

Moderate index — standard protection recommended. · peak near 14:00

Lower UV today, but reflection off water still adds exposure. Sunglasses and SPF remain cheap insurance on the water.
