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 Pôle Nautique Hague

Known for sailing and windsurfing, by the OpenStreetMap map of the area. The shore faces N, so wind from the S blows out to sea (our estimate from the coastline).

Water about 15°C: 4/3 wetsuit and boots. Typical sea temperature for the time of year, not a forecast.

A spot for sailing and windsurfing, 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 floor shelves gently: 10 m deep about 600 m out (1 in 59). 3 sailing schools or clubs and 2 boat hire places within 10 km. The sea is about 10°C in February, its coldest month (4/3 or 5/4, boots and gloves), and 17°C in August, its warmest (3/2 wetsuit). For sailing at beginner level the best months are usually May and July, with about 3 good days in 7. From the weather of past years. The town to stay in is La Hague. Within 5 km we also list 1 wind sports spot, 1 kayak spot and 1 climbing area.

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