Typical, not a forecast. Reanalysis wind misses some local thermal winds, so a spot known for an afternoon breeze may do better than this.

About Asinara
Known for kitesurfing and windsurfing, by the OpenStreetMap map of the area. The shore faces SE, so wind from the NW blows out to sea (our estimate from the coastline).
Water about 19°C: 2 mm shorty. Typical sea temperature for the time of year, not a forecast.
A spot for kitesurfing and windsurfing, as OpenStreetMap maps it, on a shore facing SE. Wind from the SE blows onshore, wind from the NW blows out to sea, and wind from the SW or NE runs along the shore. It is sheltered to the open sea. The sea floor shelves gently: 10 m deep about 800 m out (1 in 80). The sea is about 14°C in February, its coldest month (4/3 wetsuit and boots), and 26°C in August, its warmest (no wetsuit). For kitesurfing at intermediate level the best month is usually March, with about 2 good days in 7. From the weather of past years. No town nearby. Nearest beds: Stintino, 12 km (about 25 min by car). Nearest airport: Alghero-Fertilia Airport (AHO), 47 km.
The score is the conditions only: the journey, the price and the partners never change it (how we score, how we earn).
