Saturday morning run out to Silver Islet

For sea-doo / personal watercraft on Saturday, Sep 5, this is a good day, scoring 81 out of 100 across daylight hours. Waves range from 0.1 m (0.4 ft) to 0.4 m (1.3 ft), with wind from the NE gusting to 18 knots at its worst. Daylight runs 7:20 AM to 8:30 PM. The best window is 1:00 PM to 5:00 PM (4 hours), and the single best hour is around 1 PM. In that window the water runs to about 0.4 m (1.3 ft) with wind to 9 knots. After 5:00 PM the best you will get is good, with the water running toward 0.3 m (1 ft), so plan to be back on the trailer by then. 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: It is 13 C on shore but only about 7 C once you are on the ski and wet. That is 6 degrees of wind chill and spray you cannot see from the parking lot. Wetsuit or a proper drysuit top. A hoodie will be soaked and useless in ten minutes. Worth watching: Water is 14 C. Survivable but genuinely cold. Assume you have well under an hour of useful movement if you end up in it. Gusts to 18 knots, which is 13 knots above the steady wind. Squally, uneven air like this makes handling unpredictable and kicks up chop in bursts. In your favour, at the best of it: 21 C on shore, feeling like 14 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 0.3 m (1.1 ft), biggest sets around 0.5 m (1.6 ft). Comfortable. 9 knots from the ESE. Comfortable working breeze.
