About Vaasa
Known for kitesurfing and windsurfing, by the OpenStreetMap map of the area. The shore faces NW, so wind from the SE blows out to sea (our estimate from the coastline).
Water about 5°C: 5/4 or 6/5, hood, 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 NW. Wind from the NW blows onshore, wind from the SE blows out to sea, and wind from the NE or SW runs along the shore. It is sheltered to the open sea. The sea is about 0°C in January, its coldest month (5/4 or 6/5, hood, boots and gloves), and 17°C in July, its warmest (3/2 wetsuit). The town to stay in is Vaasa. Within 5 km we also list 2 wind sports spots 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).
