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 Al-Shuqaiq Harbour

Known for sailing, by the OpenStreetMap map of the area. The shore faces SW, so wind from the NE blows out to sea (our estimate from the coastline).

Water about 31°C: no wetsuit. Typical sea temperature for the time of year, not a forecast.

A spot for sailing, as OpenStreetMap maps it, on a shore facing SW. Wind from the SW blows onshore, wind from the NE blows out to sea, and wind from the NW or SE runs along the shore. It is sheltered to the open sea. The sea is about 28°C in January, its coldest month (no wetsuit), and 32°C in June, its warmest (no wetsuit). The town to stay in is Ash-Shaqīq.

The score is the conditions only: the journey, the price and the partners never change it (how we score, how we earn).
