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 大美督水上活動中心 Tai Mei Tuk Water Sports Centre

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

Water about 24°C: no wetsuit. Typical sea temperature for the time of year, not a forecast.

A spot for sailing and windsurfing, as OpenStreetMap maps it, on a shore facing S. Wind from the S blows onshore, wind from the N blows out to sea, and wind from the W or E runs along the shore. It is sheltered to the open sea. The sea floor shelves very gently: 10 m deep about 4.5 km out (1 in 455). 5 sailing schools or clubs and 7 boat hire places within 10 km. The sea is about 18°C in January, its coldest month (2 mm shorty), and 29°C in July, its warmest (no wetsuit). The town to stay in is Ma Wan. Within 5 km we also list 1 kayak spot.

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