The waves are working in your favor with a manageable height of 0.9 meters and a decent period of 7.9 seconds, peaking in calmness around 2 PM. Winds are light from the SSW at 5 knots, but watch out for gusts up to 19 knots later tonight. The swell is coming in from 273 degrees, which should align nicely for some consistent rides.

The barometric pressure is dropping, currently at 1007 hPa, which might stir things up a bit underwater. Boaters and kayakers, take note: while conditions aren't ideal, they're not too rough either, with scores of 6.3 and 5.7, respectively. The ocean current is moving at 1.3 m/s toward 315 degrees, which could make navigation a tad tricky. Visibility is at 8.9 km, so keep an eye on the horizon as clouds roll in. Diving is holding steady with a 6.6 score, though the high chlorophyll levels indicate a bloom that could affect water clarity. The sea surface temperature is a warm 15.7°C, thanks to a +2.3°C anomaly, making for a relatively comfortable dive. Looking ahead, expect a shift in conditions with increasing winds and rain tomorrow, but things should calm down significantly by the weekend. If you're planning a trip, Sunday is shaping up to be a gem with light winds and minimal chance of rain. Your best bet today is to hit the surf mid-afternoon when the waves are mellow and the wind is still manageable.
