About Lancelin
Known for kitesurfing and windsurfing, by the OpenStreetMap map of the area. The shore faces W, so wind from the E blows out to sea (our estimate from the coastline).
Water about 20°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 W. Wind from the W blows onshore, wind from the E blows out to sea, and wind from the N or S runs along the shore. It is exposed to the open sea. The sea floor shelves gently: 10 m deep about 500 m out (1 in 48). The sea is about 19°C in September, its coldest month (2 mm shorty), and 23°C in March, its warmest (2 mm shorty). For kitesurfing at intermediate level the best months are usually January and December, with about 4 good days in 7; in April and May, about 1. From the weather of past years. The town to stay in is Lancelin. Within 5 km we also list 1 surf spot.
