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 Bodo Guenther Marindepot

Known for sailing, 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).

A spot for sailing, 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. 7 sailing schools or clubs and 18 boat hire places within 10 km. For sailing at intermediate level the best month is usually February, with about 3 good days in 7; in June, July and August, about 1. From the weather of past years. The town to stay in is Wiesbaden. Within 5 km we also list 3 kayak spots.

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