About Gyeokpo Cuise Ship
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 15°C: 4/3 wetsuit and boots. 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 exposed to the open sea. The sea is about 5°C in February, its coldest month (5/4 or 6/5, hood, boots and gloves), and 27°C in August, its warmest (no wetsuit). For sailing at intermediate level the best months are usually February, March, April and December, with about 4 good days in 7; in June and September, about 2. From the weather of past years.
