Useful before you book
What the forecast can and cannot tell you
Harbour comfort
Wind and tide often matter more than open-water swell for sheltered harbour trips.
Sea exposure
Backline, mid deep, and deep sea fishing trips feel swell and wind much sooner than protected water.
Paddleski caution
Launch and return safety depend on shorebreak, wind build-up, current, your fitness, and local buddy or club guidance.
Launch decision
A clean score is not permission to launch. Your skipper and official guidance decide.
