About Lantau Boat Club (LBC)
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 24°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 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 18°C in January, its coldest month (2 mm shorty), and 29°C in July, its warmest (no wetsuit). The town to stay in is Lantau. Within 5 km we also list 1 kayak spot and 1 mountain bike area.
