Wind is the day's best reading, mean and gusts, in knots; the arrow points where it blows to. Shore "off" blows out to sea. More

Best time to go

best Apr–May, Sep, Nov

Good sailing days in a typical week, each month, from 2016 on (ERA5 history scored the same way).

Tap a month to see this spot for a trip then.

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 Swensons 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).

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. For sailing at beginner level the best months are usually April, May, September and November, with about 3 good days in 7. From the weather of past years. No town nearby. Nearest place to stay we found: Sioux Narrows Motel, Sioux Narrows-Nestor Falls, 0 km. Nearest beds: Kenora, 49 km (about 1h 30m by car). Nearest airport: Kenora Airport (YQK), 47 km.

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