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 Iddi

Known for sailing, by the OpenStreetMap map of the area. The shore faces NE, so wind from the SW 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 harbour, as OpenStreetMap maps it, on a shore facing NE. Wind from the NE blows onshore, wind from the SW blows out to sea, and wind from the SE or NW runs along the shore. It is sheltered to the open sea. We found no boat hire, sailing school or club within 10 km on the map, so bring your own boat here. The sea is about 26°C in January, its coldest month (no wetsuit), and 33°C in September, its warmest (no wetsuit). For sailing at expert level the best months are usually November and December, with about 7 good days in 7; in June, July and August, about 3. From the weather of past years. The town to stay in is Edd.

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