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 L. Maandhoo

Known for sailing, 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 29°C: no wetsuit. Typical sea temperature for the time of year, not a forecast.

A harbour, 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. 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 29°C in January, its coldest month (no wetsuit), and 30°C in March, its warmest (no wetsuit). For sailing at beginner level the best month is usually June, with about 5 good days in 7; in February, about 2. From the weather of past years. No town nearby. Fonadhoo, 5 km away, is the nearest town we list; we have not checked places to stay there. Nearest place to stay we found: Clouds Beach Retreat L. Gan, 3 km. Nearest beds: Kudahuvadhoo, 113 km. Nearest airport: Kadhdhoo Airport (KDO), 2 km. Within 5 km we also list 2 wind sports spots.
