About Walter Sport
Known for sailing and windsurfing, by the OpenStreetMap map of the area. The shore faces NW, so wind from the SE blows out to sea (our estimate from the coastline). Facts: verified.
Water about 23°C: 2 mm shorty. 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 NW. Wind from the NW blows onshore, wind from the SE blows out to sea, and wind from the NE or SW runs along the shore. It is sheltered to the open sea. The sea floor shelves very gently: 10 m deep about 1.2 km out (1 in 116). The sea is about 17°C in February, its coldest month (3/2 wetsuit), and 25°C in August, its warmest (no wetsuit). For sailing at intermediate level the best months are usually June, July and August, with about 6 good days in 7. From the weather of past years. The town to stay in is Mastichari. Within 5 km we also list 3 wind sports spots.

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.
