About Ashiya Port
Known for sailing, by the OpenStreetMap map of the area. The shore faces NW, so wind from the SE 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 sailing, as OpenStreetMap maps it, on a shore facing NW. Wind from the NW blows onshore, wind from the SE blows out to sea, and wind from the NE or SW runs along the shore. It is exposed to the open sea. The sea is about 14°C in February, its coldest month (4/3 wetsuit and boots), and 27°C in August, its warmest (no wetsuit). The town to stay in is Ashiya.
