About Necka small craft facilities port

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 sheltered 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). For sailing at expert level the best month is usually June, with about 1 good days in 7. From the weather of past years. The town to stay in is Nowz̄arābād.
