About Døsvik Marina
Known for sailing, 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).
Water about 9°C: 4/3 or 5/4, boots and gloves. Typical sea temperature for the time of year, not a forecast.
A spot for sailing, 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. It is sheltered to the open sea. The sea is about 6°C in February, its coldest month (5/4 or 6/5, hood, boots and gloves), and 14°C in July, its warmest (4/3 wetsuit and boots). For sailing at intermediate level the best months are usually January, February and December, with about 5 good days in 7; in July and August, about 3. From the weather of past years. The town to stay in is Brekstad.
