Forecast
Fresh water: lake, river or quarry: scored by other rules.
Fresh water has no waves to forecast, so the 48 points out of 80 that a sea site gets for a calm sea are given in full. The day turns on the wind (24 points) and the rain (8); gusts of 34 kn or more still score it nothing.
No sea temperature is read for it: nothing forecasts a lake's water, and it is often much colder at depth than at the top. Ask a dive centre what suit to bring.
Best on Sun 18: Fresh water (a lake, river or quarry): no sea, so scored on wind and rain only. Wind 7 kn gusting 15.
