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 S.A.M.S. Marina
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 7°C: 5/4 or 6/5, hood, 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. The sea is about 5°C in August, its coldest month (5/4 or 6/5, hood, boots and gloves), and 10°C in January, its warmest (4/3 or 5/4, boots and gloves). For sailing at expert level the best month is usually December, with about 6 good days in 7. From the weather of past years. The town to stay in is Stanley. Within 5 km we also list 2 wind sports spots.
The score is the conditions only: the journey, the price and the partners never change it (how we score, how we earn).
