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 Siglingaklúbburinn Nökkvi

Known for sailing, by the OpenStreetMap map of the area. The shore faces N, so wind from the S blows out to sea (our estimate from the coastline).

Water about 6°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 N. Wind from the N blows onshore, wind from the S blows out to sea, and wind from the E or W runs along the shore. It is sheltered to the open sea. The sea floor shelves moderately: 10 m deep about 250 m out (1 in 26). The sea is about 3°C in February, its coldest month (5/4 or 6/5, hood, boots and gloves), and 9°C in July, its warmest (4/3 or 5/4, boots and gloves). For sailing at intermediate level the best month is usually June, with about 1 good days in 7. From the weather of past years. The town to stay in is Akureyrarb R. Within 5 km we also list 1 mountain bike area.

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