About jachthaven Hansa
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).
A spot for sailing, 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. For sailing at intermediate level the best month is usually October, with about 5 good days in 7; in August, about 3. From the weather of past years. The town to stay in is Kattendijke. Within 5 km we also list 2 wind sports spots, 10 dive sites and 1 mountain bike area.
