About Nordhavnstippen
Known for kitesurfing and 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). Facts: verified.
Water about 13°C: 4/3 wetsuit and boots. Typical sea temperature for the time of year, not a forecast.
A spot for kitesurfing and 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 very gently: 10 m deep about 4.8 km out (1 in 476). 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). For sailing at intermediate level the best months are usually January, February, March and May, with about 5 good days in 7. From the weather of past years. The town to stay in is København. Within 5 km we also list 1 wind sports spot.

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.
