About NPOエコマリンスポーツクラブ (WInd Surfing)

Known for windsurfing, 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). Facts: verified.

Water about 24°C: no wetsuit. Typical sea temperature for the time of year, not a forecast.

A spot for windsurfing, 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 sheltered to the open sea. The sea floor shelves very gently: 10 m deep about 3.6 km out (1 in 357). The sea is about 10°C in February, its coldest month (4/3 or 5/4, boots and gloves), and 28°C in August, its warmest (no wetsuit). For windsurfing at beginner level the best months are usually January, April, May and June, with about 3 good days in 7; in September and October, about 1. From the weather of past years. The town to stay in is Amagasaki.

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.
