The morning will begin with a north-northeasterly wind between 1-5 knots, changing to a southwesterly breeze rising to around 6-10 knots after 12:00 local time.
After 15:00 local time, this is expected to drop back down to 1-5knots.
Waves are not expected to be any higher than 1m, a stark contrast to yesterday’s low of 1.5m.
