Conditions at a glance
What stood out in the forecast
Wind
Good4 kt · BF 2
Sustained to 4 kt · gusts to 12 kt · BF 4
Beaufort 4 — 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.
Rain
Good0%
0.0 mm total · 0% 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
Fair30°C
Air 25–30°C · feels like 25–35°C
Feels-like 25–35°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
Good20 nm
Lowest 20 nm · best 25 nm today
Generally clear sightlines (about 37.3–25 nm). Good for spotting traffic and shoreline references — still verify charted marks; glare and spray can fool you even on “clear” days.
Barometric pressure
Good1017 hPa
1017 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 7.5
High index — plan sun protection before you leave the dock. · peak near 14:00
UV 7.5 is elevated. Cloud cover does not block all UV — protect skin and eyes, especially on white decks and sails.
