FishMeteoRead the three fields together
Wind speed describes a sustained or averaged value; gusts describe short-lived peaks. Wind direction names where the wind comes from. Keep the forecast provider’s definitions in mind when comparing products.
Keep the units consistent
Write the unit beside the number. FishMeteo public forecasts label wind and gusts in km/h. If another service uses knots, do not compare its raw number directly; one knot is approximately 1.852 km/h.
Compare your whole time window
Open the hourly table for arrival, fishing and return. Note a change in direction or a growing difference between wind speed and gusts. Compare the same hours at another spot instead of choosing only the smallest number anywhere in the day.
Turn the comparison into a record
Before leaving, write down the values you checked and why you chose the spot. After the trip, add what you actually observed. A personal record gives you a more useful starting point than a universal “best wind” rule.
Try it on your next trip
- Check speed, gusts, direction and units on the same row.
- Include your return time in the comparison.
- Save the spot and record the forecast and your observations in FishMeteo.
