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 Landing 1 Portal Point

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 -1°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 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. The sea is about -2°C in July, its coldest month (5/4 or 6/5, hood, boots and gloves), and 2°C in February, its warmest (5/4 or 6/5, hood, boots and gloves). For sailing at intermediate level the best month is usually September, with about 4 good days in 7. From the weather of past years. No town nearby. Nearest beds: Puerto Williams, 1112 km.
