About Mahmudabad Municipal Beach
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 20°C: 2 mm shorty. 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 12°C in February, its coldest month (4/3 or 5/4, boots and gloves), and 29°C in August, its warmest (no wetsuit). The town to stay in is Maḩmūdābād.
