About Damnoni Watersports Center

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

It is sheltered to the open sea. The sea floor shelves very steeply: 10 m deep about 50 m out (1 in 4). The sea is about 17°C in January, its coldest month (3/2 wetsuit), and 26°C in July, its warmest (no wetsuit). For sailing at intermediate level the best months are usually February and July, with about 2 good days in 7; in October, about 0. From the weather of past years. No town nearby.

Day scores are the conditions out of 80. Wind is the day's best reading: the mean and the gusts in knots (10 kn is about 19 km/h); the arrow points where it blows to. Shore: "side" is side-shore, blowing along the beach, the safe way; "side-on" and "on" blow in towards it; "cross-off" and "off" blow out to sea, and offshore scores nothing for kite and windsurf. Water is the open sea's waves near the spot: flat under 0.3 m, chop to 0.8 m.

Typical, not a forecast. Reanalysis wind misses some local thermal winds, so a spot known for an afternoon breeze may do better than this.
