The spot faces SE (137°), so it takes swell from the SE. The wind blows offshore from the NW (317°). It is sheltered to the open swell. It suits beginners and up. It works in 5–20 ft of swell. The sea is about 2°C in February, its coldest month (5/4 or 6/5, hood, boots and gloves), and 18°C in August, its warmest (2 mm shorty). The town to stay in is Hanko, 2.6 km away (about 5 min by car). Within 5 km we also list 1 wind sports spot.

Water about 8°C: 5/4 or 6/5, hood, boots and gloves. Typical sea temperature for the time of year, not a forecast.
