About Marina Punta Brava

A spot for sailing, as OpenStreetMap maps it, on a shore facing N. Wind from the N blows onshore, wind from the S blows out to sea, and wind from the E or W runs along the shore. It is sheltered to the open sea. The sea is about 26°C in February, its coldest month (no wetsuit), and 29°C in August, its warmest (no wetsuit). For sailing at expert level the best months are usually February, March, April and May, with about 1 good days in 7. From the weather of past years. The town to stay in is Puerto Cabello. Within 5 km we also list 1 surf spot.
