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 30 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 Mon 19: Fresh water (a lake, river or quarry): no sea, so scored on wind and rain only. Wind 10 kn gusting 20.

Day scores are the conditions out of 80, from the two best daylight readings: a morning and an afternoon dive. Fresh water (a lake, river or quarry): no sea, so scored on wind and rain only. Wind and gusts are in knots (10 kn is about 19 km/h); rain is over the daylight readings, in mm. Water has no reading: no sea temperature is read for a lake. What is under the water (visibility, current, life) no free forecast gives.
