Conditions at a glance

What stood out in the forecast

Wind

Good

11 kt · BF 4

Sustained to 11 kt · gusts to 19 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

Fair

54%

0.8 mm total · 54% peak chance · 3 wet hour(s)

Showers possible across 3 hour(s). Light rain is manageable with good gear; heavy bursts can obscure marks and other traffic — keep a hand on the plotter or chart.

Air temperature

Fair

29°C

Air 21–29°C · feels like 21–29°C

Feels-like 21–29°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

4.9 nm

Lowest 4.9 nm · best 5.4 nm today

Generally clear sightlines (about 9.0–5.4 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

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 4.1

Moderate index — standard protection recommended. · peak near 15:00

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