Light ripples can reduce fish wariness, sometimes improving fishing. Choosing sheltered spots makes for comfortable fishing.

Casting accuracy decreases and line drifts easily. Use heavier lures/weights and choose wind-sheltered spots.

Difficult fishing conditions. Hard to stand steady and cast. Risk of high waves. Seek shelter or consider leaving.

Fishing should be suspended. Risk of falling accidents due to high waves and gusts. Wait for weather to improve or postpone.
