A spot for sailing, as OpenStreetMap maps it, on a shore facing E. Wind from the E blows onshore, wind from the W blows out to sea, and wind from the S or N runs along the shore. It is exposed to the open sea. The sea is about 24°C in August, its coldest month (no wetsuit), and 28°C in January, its warmest (no wetsuit). For sailing at intermediate level the best months are usually October and November, with about 5 good days in 7. From the weather of past years. The town to stay in is Farafangana.
