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 Virksund Sejlklub

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

A spot for sailing, as OpenStreetMap maps it, on a shore facing N. Wind from the N blows onshore, wind from the S blows out to sea, and wind from the E or W runs along the shore. 2 sailing schools or clubs within 10 km. For sailing at beginner level the best months are usually April, May, June and July, with about 3 good days in 7. From the weather of past years. The town to stay in is Virksund. Within 5 km we also list 1 kayak spot.
