Optimal directions remain strong: ESE 21.6%, SE 20.7%, E 19.6%, and SSE 17.5%, with a growing S component at 9.8%. Ideal offshore wind improves to 29%, while the NE trade wind weakens slightly to 16.1%; ENE drops to 12.4% and the onshore ENE/E/ESE/SE total falls below 25%. Water temp is still warm at 25.8°C, air averages 24.1°C, and daily rainfall eases to 2.36mm/day.
