About La Pesca Profesional
Known for sailing, by the OpenStreetMap map of the area. The shore faces N, so wind from the S blows out to sea (our estimate from the coastline).
Water about 28°C: no wetsuit. Typical sea temperature for the time of year, not a forecast.
A spot for sailing, as OpenStreetMap maps it, on a shore facing N. Wind from the N blows onshore, wind from the S blows out to sea, and wind from the E or W runs along the shore. It is exposed to the open sea. The sea is about 26°C in February, its coldest month (no wetsuit), and 30°C in July, its warmest (no wetsuit). For sailing at intermediate level the best months are usually January, March and December, with about 4 good days in 7. From the weather of past years. The town to stay in is Viñales.
