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 Koko Loco

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

A spot for sailing and windsurfing, as OpenStreetMap maps it, on a shore facing S. Wind from the S blows onshore, wind from the N blows out to sea, and wind from the W or E runs along the shore. 4 sailing schools or clubs and 5 boat hire places within 10 km. For windsurfing at beginner level the best months are usually August and September, with about 3 good days in 7; in May, about 1. From the weather of past years. The town to stay in is Nieuwpoort. Within 5 km we also list 1 surf spot and 1 wind sports spot.

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