With sailing scoring a fantastic 9.2/10, the steady SSE winds around 10 knots are perfect for catching some air and cruising the coastline. Boaters won't be disappointed either, with a high score of 7.9/10, thanks to the calm seas with wave heights peaking at just 0.22 meters.

The solunar periods, particularly the major one from 10:50 to 12:50, offer the best chance to reel in some action. However, the very high chlorophyll levels indicate a bloom, which could complicate visibility and baitfish patterns. Divers will enjoy a solid 7.2/10, with the stable water temperature at 15.8°C and minimal wave action making for a pleasant dive. Wildlife watchers should be on alert for an impressive 9/10 experience, especially near low tide at 10:57 AM, when the local fauna might be more active.
