🌊 Lysefjord Weather Report – 8 June 2026

Current weather conditions and safety assessment for Lysefjord paddling on Friday, June 5, 2026. Overall recommendation: Use precaution. Forsand remains safe, while Flørli conditions are marginal with elevated gusts.

OVERALL RECOMMENDATION: ⚠️ USE PRECAUTION

đź“Ť Forsand (Main Base):
Wind: 5 m/s SE (Gusts: 10 m/s)
Status: MARGINAL — SE wind within speed threshold (5 m/s vs. 6 m/s limit), but gusts reaching 10 m/s are notable.

📍 Flørli:
Wind: 6 m/s NE (Gusts: 12 m/s)
Status: MARGINAL — NE (Easterly) wind at threshold (6 m/s vs. 8 m/s limit), gusts up to 12 m/s exceed safe gust levels.

⚠️ Safety Notes:
• No thunder or storm warnings at either location.
