The steady southern winds at 9 knots with occasional gusts to 11 knots create a consistent breeze, ideal for those looking to hoist sails and navigate the waters smoothly. The waves are cooperative, peaking at a modest 0.4 meters and calming significantly to 0.14 meters around 7 PM, offering a gentle ride for paddlers and boaters alike.
