Known for sailing, by the OpenStreetMap map of the area. We don't know which way the shore faces here, so we can't warn of offshore wind: kite and windsurf aren't scored.

A spot for sailing, as OpenStreetMap maps it. For sailing at intermediate level the best months are usually February and March, with about 5 good days in 7; in January and May, about 3. From the weather of past years. The town to stay in is Bristol England.

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

Rough cost (estimate): about US$1,190–US$2,210 each

about US$1,190–US$2,210 each · 6 nights, 2 sharing: flights, hire car, stay, food.
