Buoy BRHC3, on the gauge. It reports no wave height, so seas are not in the rating. Whether it is workable out there, not whether anything will bite. Nobody can forecast that.

Reading this honestly

The buoy is on the gauge, which is the best case: what it reports is what the water is doing here.

The rating is about wind, seas and warnings - whether a small boat can work comfortably and safely. It is not a bite forecast, and the tide times above are not one either. Tide stage matters to a great many species and every angler has a theory about which stage; we are not going to convert those theories into a number and present it as data.
