About Necka small craft facilities port
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 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 beginner level the best months are usually June, July and August, with about 7 good days in 7; in January, November and December, about 3. From the weather of past years. The town to stay in is Nowz̄arābād.
