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 Clube de Vela da Lagoa

Known for kitesurfing, sailing and windsurfing, by the OpenStreetMap map of the area. The shore faces W, so wind from the E blows out to sea (our estimate from the coastline).

A spot for kitesurfing, sailing and windsurfing, as OpenStreetMap maps it, on a shore facing W. Wind from the W blows onshore, wind from the E blows out to sea, and wind from the N or S runs along the shore. 1 sailing school or club and 1 boat hire place within 10 km. The town to stay in is Foz do Arelho. Within 5 km we also list 2 surf spots, 2 wind sports spots and 1 kayak spot.
