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 Nautilus Hvalpsund

Known for sailing, 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 10°C: 4/3 or 5/4, boots and gloves. Typical sea temperature for the time of year, not a forecast.

A spot for sailing, 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 floor shelves very gently: 10 m deep about 4.2 km out (1 in 417). 1 sailing school or club and 1 boat hire place within 10 km. The sea is about 5°C in March, its coldest month (5/4 or 6/5, hood, boots and gloves), and 17°C in August, its warmest (3/2 wetsuit). The town to stay in is Hvalpsund. Within 5 km we also list 2 kayak spots.

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