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 Yyteri
Known for kitesurfing and windsurfing, by the OpenStreetMap map of the area. The shore faces SW, so wind from the NE blows out to sea (our estimate from the coastline).
Water about 7°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 SW. Wind from the SW blows onshore, wind from the NE blows out to sea, and wind from the NW or SE runs along the shore. It is sheltered to the open sea. The sea floor shelves very gently: 10 m deep about 3.7 km out (1 in 370). The sea is about 0°C in February, its coldest month (5/4 or 6/5, hood, boots and gloves), and 17°C in July, its warmest (3/2 wetsuit). For windsurfing at beginner level the best months are usually May and June, with about 5 good days in 7. From the weather of past years. The town to stay in is Yyteri. Within 5 km we also list 2 surf spots.
