About Brading Haven Yacht Club

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

Water about 16°C: 3/2 wetsuit. Typical sea temperature for the time of year, not a forecast.

A spot for sailing, as OpenStreetMap maps it, on a shore facing E. Wind from the E blows onshore, wind from the W blows out to sea, and wind from the S or N runs along the shore. It is sheltered to the open sea. The sea floor shelves very gently: 10 m deep about 3.8 km out (1 in 385). The sea is about 9°C in February, its coldest month (4/3 or 5/4, boots and gloves), and 19°C in August, its warmest (2 mm shorty). For sailing at intermediate level the best months are usually February, March, August and September, with about 5 good days in 7. From the weather of past years. No town nearby. No stay checked for this spot yet: Seaview, 3 km away, is the nearest town we list. Nearest airport: SOU (SOU), 34 km. Within 5 km we also list 1 surf spot and 2 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.
