Sea state

The wave model doesn't reach Rouen: 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 ENE · gusts 2

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

N Sea Land

Offshore wind. The coast faces southwest and the wind blows from land out to sea: calm shore and clean waves, but watch the drift out to sea.

Solunar periods

Today's activity: medium

2:21–4:21 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
2:53–4:53 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
11:44 am–12:44 pm Minor · moonset · medium activity
7:02–8:02 pm Minor · moonrise · 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.
