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 Club Náutico Ría de Ares

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).

Water about 15°C: 4/3 wetsuit and boots. Typical sea temperature for the time of year, not a forecast.

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 sheltered to the open sea. The sea floor shelves gently: 10 m deep about 450 m out (1 in 43). The sea is about 13°C in February, its coldest month (4/3 wetsuit and boots), and 18°C in August, its warmest (2 mm shorty). For sailing at intermediate level the best months are usually March, July and November, with about 5 good days in 7. From the weather of past years. The town to stay in is Ares. Within 5 km we also list 1 mountain bike area.

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