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 Esperance Bay Yacht Club

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

Water about 18°C: 2 mm shorty. Typical sea temperature for the time of year, not a forecast.

A spot for kitesurfing, sailing and windsurfing, as OpenStreetMap maps it, on a shore facing E. Wind from the E blows onshore, wind from the W blows out to sea, and wind from the S or N runs along the shore. It is sheltered to the open sea. The sea floor shelves moderately: 10 m deep about 300 m out (1 in 28). 1 sailing school or club within 10 km. The sea is about 16°C in August, its coldest month (3/2 wetsuit), and 20°C in January, its warmest (2 mm shorty). For sailing at expert level the best months are usually July and December, with about 5 good days in 7; in March and April, about 3. From the weather of past years. The town to stay in is Esperance. Within 5 km we also list 2 surf spots.

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