About Al-Hussein Harbour
Known for sailing, by the OpenStreetMap map of the area. The shore faces S, so wind from the N blows out to sea (our estimate from the coastline).

A spot for sailing, as OpenStreetMap maps it, on a shore facing S. Wind from the S blows onshore, wind from the N blows out to sea, and wind from the W or E runs along the shore. It is exposed to the open sea. The sea is about 27°C in January, its coldest month (no wetsuit), and 32°C in June, its warmest (no wetsuit). For sailing at intermediate level the best months are usually July and November, with about 5 good days in 7; in August and October, about 3. From the weather of past years. No town nearby.
