About Viharsarok
Known for sailing, by the OpenStreetMap map of the area. The shore faces NW, so wind from the SE blows out to sea (our estimate from the coastline).
A spot for sailing, as OpenStreetMap maps it, on a shore facing NW. Wind from the NW blows onshore, wind from the SE blows out to sea, and wind from the NE or SW runs along the shore. For sailing at intermediate level the best month is usually April, with about 3 good days in 7; in August, September and November, about 1. From the weather of past years. The town to stay in is Balatonföldvár. Within 5 km we also list 1 wind sports spot and 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).
Rough cost (estimate): about US$1,010–US$1,940 each
about US$1,010–US$1,940 each · 6 nights, 2 sharing: flights, hire car, stay, food.
