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 Safe Sea Swimming Scheme
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 19°C: 2 mm shorty. Typical sea temperature for the time of year, not a forecast.
A harbour, 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 exposed 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 11°C in February, its coldest month (4/3 or 5/4, boots and gloves), and 29°C in August, its warmest (no wetsuit). The town to stay in is Katālem va Sādāt Shahr.
The score is the conditions only: the journey, the price and the partners never change it (how we score, how we earn).
Rough cost (estimate): about US$1,200–US$2,320 each
about US$1,200–US$2,320 each · 6 nights, 2 sharing: flights, hire car, stay, food.
Our estimate from typical public prices, not a quote: check the real prices before you book (where they come from). Prices are about, in US Dollar (USD): our pound figures at the European Central Bank's rate of 2 November 2026.
