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 Delta del Ebro

Known for kitesurfing and windsurfing, by the OpenStreetMap map of the area. The shore faces NE, so wind from the SW blows out to sea (our estimate from the coastline).

Water about 18°C: 2 mm shorty. Typical sea temperature for the time of year, not a forecast.

A spot for kitesurfing and windsurfing, as OpenStreetMap maps it, on a shore facing NE. Wind from the NE blows onshore, wind from the SW blows out to sea, and wind from the SE or NW runs along the shore. It is sheltered to the open sea. The sea is about 14°C in January, its coldest month (4/3 wetsuit and boots), and 27°C in August, its warmest (no wetsuit). For windsurfing at intermediate level the best months are usually January, March and November, with about 2 good days in 7; in June, July and August, about 0. From the weather of past years. The town to stay in is l'Ampolla.

The score is the conditions only: the journey, the price and the partners never change it (how we score, how we earn).
