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 Verevågen

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

Water about 11°C: 4/3 or 5/4, 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 W. Wind from the W blows onshore, wind from the E blows out to sea, and wind from the N or S runs along the shore. It is exposed to the open sea. The sea is about 5°C in February, its coldest month (5/4 or 6/5, hood, boots and gloves), and 17°C in August, its warmest (3/2 wetsuit). For sailing at intermediate level the best months are usually May, June and August, with about 5 good days in 7. From the weather of past years. The town to stay in is Borhaug. Within 5 km we also list 1 surf spot and 2 wind sports spots.
