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 Mordialloc Sailing Club

Known for sailing, by the OpenStreetMap map of the area. The shore faces SW, so wind from the NE blows out to sea (our estimate from the coastline).

Water about 17°C: 3/2 wetsuit. Typical sea temperature for the time of year, not a forecast.

A spot for sailing, as OpenStreetMap maps it, on a shore facing SW. Wind from the SW blows onshore, wind from the NE blows out to sea, and wind from the NW or SE runs along the shore. It is sheltered to the open sea. The sea floor shelves very gently: 10 m deep about 20.0 km out (1 in 2000). 2 sailing schools or clubs and 2 boat hire places within 10 km. The sea is about 11°C in August, its coldest month (4/3 or 5/4, boots and gloves), and 21°C in January, its warmest (2 mm shorty). The town to stay in is Aspendale. Within 5 km we also list 2 surf spots.

The score is the conditions only: the journey, the price and the partners never change it (how we score, how we earn).
