Boaters are also in for a treat with an 8.5/10 score, thanks to the mild wind and minimal wave action, which ensure a stable ride.

Surfers may want to wait for another day, with a 5.1/10 score reflecting the small swell and short wave periods that don't offer much thrill. Wildlife watchers have a steady 6/10, with the evening solunar period offering the best chance for sightings.
