About 創興水上活動中心 Chong Hing Water Sports Centre

Known for sailing and windsurfing, 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).

Water about 24°C: no wetsuit. Typical sea temperature for the time of year, not a forecast.

A spot for sailing and windsurfing, 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 sheltered to the open sea. The sea floor shelves very steeply: 10 m deep about 100 m out (1 in 9). The sea is about 19°C in January, its coldest month (2 mm shorty), and 29°C in July, its warmest (no wetsuit). For sailing at intermediate level the best months are usually January, October, November and December, with about 6 good days in 7; in August and September, about 3. From the weather of past years. The town to stay in is Hong Kong. Within 5 km we also list 1 kayak spot and 1 climbing area.
