Wind from the SE blows onshore, wind from the NW blows out to sea, and wind from the SW or NE runs along the shore. 1 sailing school or club and 1 boat hire place within 10 km. For sailing at beginner level the best months are usually February, October, November and December, with about 4 good days in 7; in July, about 2. From the weather of past years.
