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 Guarderia Beira Mar

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

Water about 27°C: no wetsuit. Typical sea temperature for the time of year, not a forecast.

A spot for sailing and windsurfing, as OpenStreetMap maps it, on a shore facing NW. Wind from the NW blows onshore, wind from the SE blows out to sea, and wind from the NE or SW runs along the shore. It is sheltered to the open sea. The sea floor shelves gently: 10 m deep about 900 m out (1 in 91). The sea is about 26°C in July, its coldest month (no wetsuit), and 29°C in March, its warmest (no wetsuit). For sailing at beginner level the best months are usually January, November and December, with about 1 good days in 7. From the weather of past years. The town to stay in is Salvador.

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