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 Texacobryggen
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. It is sheltered to the open sea. For sailing at intermediate level the best months are usually January, March, April and September, with about 2 good days in 7. From the weather of past years. The town to stay in is Trondheim. Within 5 km we also list 2 wind sports spots, 4 dive sites, 1 kayak spot and 1 climbing area.
The score is the conditions only: the journey, the price and the partners never change it (how we score, how we earn).
