Light and variable winds dominate with marginal conditions throughout the period. Thursday offers a brief 2-hour window late afternoon with 15kt NNW winds but unfavorable direction. Friday shows similar timing with 13kt westerly. Saturday provides the best opportunity with 6 hours (2-7pm) of 11kt SSW winds - closer to preferred direction but borderline for power. Minimal swell throughout at 0.4-0.5m.

Bottom line: Marginal at best - Saturday afternoon offers your only real shot with light SSW thermals, but expect underpowered sessions.
