v1 estimate from air temperature — not a sensor reading
Southeast wind at 5 mph — the northwest shore is windward.
Wind tends to push food, then baitfish, toward the bank it blows into — a rule of thumb, not a guarantee of where fish are. It says nothing about whether that shore is public or reachable.
