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 Newport OR

Known for kitesurfing 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).

Water about 12°C: 4/3 or 5/4, boots and gloves. 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 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. It is exposed to the open sea. The sea floor shelves gently: 10 m deep about 950 m out (1 in 96). The sea is about 10°C in January, its coldest month (4/3 or 5/4, boots and gloves), and 13°C in June, its warmest (4/3 wetsuit and boots). For windsurfing at intermediate 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 Newport. Within 5 km we also list 7 surf spots, 1 wind sports spot and 1 mountain bike area.

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