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 Royal Northumberland Yacht Club
Known for sailing, by the OpenStreetMap map of the area. The shore faces E, so wind from the W blows out to sea (our estimate from the coastline).
Water about 11°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 E. Wind from the E blows onshore, wind from the W blows out to sea, and wind from the S or N runs along the shore. It is sheltered to the open sea. The sea floor shelves very gently: 10 m deep about 1.4 km out (1 in 141). 4 sailing schools or clubs within 10 km. The sea is about 7°C in February, its coldest month (5/4 or 6/5, hood, boots and gloves), and 15°C in August, its warmest (4/3 wetsuit and boots). For sailing at beginner level the best months are usually April, May and June, with about 3 good days in 7; in January and February, about 1. From the weather of past years. The town to stay in is Blyth. Within 5 km we also list 1 surf spot and 1 wind sports spot.
The score is the conditions only: the journey, the price and the partners never change it (how we score, how we earn).
