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 Porpoise Harbour Marina Complex

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 9°C: 4/3 or 5/4, boots and gloves. 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. We found no boat hire, sailing school or club within 10 km on the map, so bring your own boat here. The sea is about 7°C in February, its coldest month (5/4 or 6/5, hood, boots and gloves), and 13°C in July, its warmest (4/3 wetsuit and boots). For sailing at expert level the best month is usually January, with about 2 good days in 7; in June, July and August, about 0. From the weather of past years. No town nearby. Nearest beds: Prince Rupert, 10 km (about 20 min by car). Nearest airport: Prince Rupert Airport (YPR), 12 km.

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