For those looking to fish, the score of 6/10 suggests moderate conditions. The solunar major period from 2:56 PM to 4:56 PM could be your best bet for catching something worth bragging about, although the tide is relatively low at 0.18 meters around mid-morning. The stable barometric pressure at 1017 hPa is a positive sign for anglers, with no rain to disrupt your plans. On the surfing front, the conditions are less ideal with a score of 4.5/10. With waves at 0.26 meters and a swell coming from 141 degrees, it's more of a day for beginners or those looking to enjoy a leisurely paddle rather than chase big waves.
