What you are in for

A friendly 0.3 m (1 ft) chop. Enough to feel it under you, not enough to slow you down or spill your coffee. It will feel chilly out there, around 14 C on the ski even though the shore reads 19 C. Splash top and a warm layer under it. You will cool off fast the moment you stop moving. Water at 14 C. Fine for a quick dip if you are brave, not somewhere to linger. Aim for 5 PM to 9 PM.

Why this hour scores 91

Why today is good

For sea-doo / personal watercraft today, this is a good day, scoring 80 out of 100 across daylight hours. Waves range from 0.3 m (1 ft) to 0.4 m (1.5 ft), with wind from the ESE gusting to 14 knots at its worst. Daylight runs 7:13 AM to 8:40 PM. The best window is 5:00 PM to 9:00 PM (4 hours), and the single best hour is around 7 PM. In that window the water runs to about 0.3 m (1.1 ft) with wind to 4 knots. Earlier in the day it only reaches good, so there is no advantage to launching at first light. What is working against you, at the worst of it: Visibility down to 0.3 km. Superior fog forms fast over cold water and it will hide the shoreline and other traffic. Do not go out without a chart plotter. Worth watching: The shore says 17 C, but moving across the water it will feel more like 12 C. Nice enough in the sun, nippy the moment you stop. Wetsuit or a proper drysuit top. A hoodie will be soaked and useless in ten minutes. Water is 14 C. Survivable but genuinely cold. Assume you have well under an hour of useful movement if you end up in it. Moderate chop at 0.4 m (1.3 ft), with sets to 0.6 m (2 ft). Manageable but you will feel it, and you will be slowing down into it. In your favour, at the best of it: 19 C on shore, feeling like 16 C on the ski. Splash top and a warm layer under it. You will cool off fast the moment you stop moving. Light at 2 knots from the ENE. Nothing to fight.

Why this hour scores 94

Windows through the day

Light ripple at 0.2 m (0.8 ft), just enough to know you are on water rather than a mirror. It will feel chilly out there, around 15 C on the ski even though the shore reads 26 C. Splash top and a warm layer under it. You will cool off fast the moment you stop moving. Water at 14 C. Fine for a quick dip if you are brave, not somewhere to linger. Aim for 9 AM to 2 PM. It goes downhill after that, so do not be the last one off the water.

The full picture

For sea-doo / personal watercraft tomorrow, this is a good day, scoring 77 out of 100 across daylight hours. Waves range from 0.2 m (0.7 ft) to 0.4 m (1.5 ft), with wind from the WNW gusting to 22 knots at its worst. Daylight runs 7:15 AM to 8:38 PM. The best window is 9:00 AM to 2:00 PM (5 hours), and the single best hour is around 9 AM. In that window the water runs to about 0.3 m (1 ft) with wind to 11 knots. After 2:00 PM the best you will get is good, with the water running toward 0.3 m (1.1 ft), so plan to be back on the trailer by then. Earlier in the day it only reaches poor, so there is no advantage to launching at first light. Conditions flip back and forth through the day rather than settling, so treat any window as provisional and keep checking. What is working against you, at the worst of it: Visibility down to 0.1 km. Superior fog forms fast over cold water and it will hide the shoreline and other traffic. Do not go out without a chart plotter. Worth watching: The shore says 17 C, but moving across the water it will feel more like 14 C. Nice enough in the sun, nippy the moment you stop. Splash top and a warm layer under it. You will cool off fast the moment you stop moving. Water is 14 C. Survivable but genuinely cold. Assume you have well under an hour of useful movement if you end up in it. In your favour, at the best of it: 17 C on shore, feeling like 15 C on the ski. Splash top and a warm layer under it. You will cool off fast the moment you stop moving. Light chop at 0.2 m (0.8 ft), biggest sets around 0.4 m (1.2 ft). Comfortable. Light at 1 knots from the NW. Nothing to fight.

Why this hour scores 97

Windows through the day

Glass. The kind of morning where you can see the bottom going past and the horizon has no texture at all. It will feel chilly out there, around 14 C on the ski even though the shore reads 25 C. Splash top and a warm layer under it. You will cool off fast the moment you stop moving. Water at 14 C. Fine for a quick dip if you are brave, not somewhere to linger. Aim for 11 AM to 9 PM.
