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 Skrea Strand
Known for kitesurfing, by the OpenStreetMap map of the area. The shore faces SW, so wind from the NE blows out to sea (our estimate from the coastline).
Water about 9°C: 4/3 or 5/4, boots and gloves. Typical sea temperature for the time of year, not a forecast.
A spot for kitesurfing, as OpenStreetMap maps it, on a shore facing SW. Wind from the SW blows onshore, wind from the NE blows out to sea, and wind from the NW or SE runs along the shore. It is exposed to the open sea. The sea floor shelves very gently: 10 m deep about 2.3 km out (1 in 233). The sea is about 3°C in February, its coldest month (5/4 or 6/5, hood, boots and gloves), and 18°C in July, its warmest (2 mm shorty). The town to stay in is Skrea. Within 5 km we also list 2 wind sports spots.
The score is the conditions only: the journey, the price and the partners never change it (how we score, how we earn).
