Conditions at a glance
What stood out in the forecast
Wind
Good4 kt · BF 2
Sustained to 4 kt · gusts to 13 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.
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
Good22°C
Air 15–22°C · feels like 13–22°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
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
Good1024 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
GoodUV 2.8
Low index — still use basics on bright water. · peak near 13:00
Lower UV today, but reflection off water still adds exposure. Sunglasses and SPF remain cheap insurance on the water.
