A spot for sailing, as OpenStreetMap maps it, on a shore facing SE. Wind from the SE blows onshore, wind from the NW blows out to sea, and wind from the SW or NE runs along the shore. It is sheltered to the open sea. The sea is about 23°C in January, its coldest month (2 mm shorty), and 30°C in June, its warmest (no wetsuit). For sailing at intermediate level the best months are usually April and May, with about 7 good days in 7; in November, about 2. From the weather of past years. The town to stay in is Karachi.
