About Haikkoon venesatama
Known for sailing, by the OpenStreetMap map of the area. The shore faces SE, so wind from the NW blows out to sea (our estimate from the coastline).
Water about 8°C: 5/4 or 6/5, hood, 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 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 1°C in February, its coldest month (5/4 or 6/5, hood, boots and gloves), and 18°C in August, its warmest (2 mm shorty). For sailing at intermediate level the best month is usually October, with about 5 good days in 7; in April and May, about 3. From the weather of past years. The town to stay in is Porvoo. Within 5 km we also list 2 wind sports spots and 2 kayak spots.
