Hourly wind

Sea state

The wave model doesn't reach Puerto Natales: it's on inland water (an estuary, sound or sheltered bay) or far from the open sea. Wind is still available right here.

Wind on the coast and offshore

On the coast 1 mph W · gusts 5

The model doesn't separate offshore wind here: it's the same as on the coast.

Cross-onshore wind. The coast faces southwest and the wind comes in from the sea at an angle: a bit more surf at the shore and drift along the coast, toward land.

Solunar periods

Today's activity: medium
  • 3:28–5:28 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
  • 4:01–6:01 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
  • 12:36–1:36 am Minor · moonrise · medium activity
  • 7:18–8:18 am Minor · moonset · medium activity

According to solunar theory, fish feed more when the moon passes overhead or underfoot (major periods, about 2 h) and when it rises or sets (minor periods, 1 h). It works best around new and full moon.
