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 Clube de Vela da Lagoa

Known for kitesurfing, sailing and windsurfing, 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).

A spot for kitesurfing, sailing and windsurfing, 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. For windsurfing at intermediate level the best months are usually June, July and August, with about 4 good days in 7; in January, October and December, about 2. From the weather of past years. The town to stay in is Foz do Arelho. Within 5 km we also list 2 surf spots, 2 wind sports spots 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).
