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 Ν.Ο.Ρ.

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

Water about 23°C: 2 mm shorty. Typical sea temperature for the time of year, not a forecast.

A spot for sailing, as OpenStreetMap maps it, on a shore facing NE. Wind from the NE blows onshore, wind from the SW blows out to sea, and wind from the SE or NW runs along the shore. It is sheltered to the open sea. The sea floor shelves steeply: 10 m deep about 150 m out (1 in 16). 2 sailing schools or clubs and 15 boat hire places within 10 km. The sea is about 18°C in February, its coldest month (2 mm shorty), and 28°C in August, its warmest (no wetsuit). For sailing at intermediate level the best months are usually June, July, August and September, with about 5 good days in 7; in November, about 3. From the weather of past years. The town to stay in is Koskinou. Within 5 km we also list 1 wind sports spot, 2 dive sites and 1 kayak spot.

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