What stood out in the forecast
Wind
Good8 kt · BF 3
Sustained to 8 kt · gusts to 9 kt · BF 3
Beaufort 3 — 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
Good2%
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
Poor33°C
Air 24–33°C · feels like 24–35°C
Feels-like 24–35°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
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
Good1015 hPa
1015 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 7.8
High index — plan sun protection before you leave the dock. · peak near 14:00
UV 7.8 is elevated. Cloud cover does not block all UV — protect skin and eyes, especially on white decks and sails.
