About Club do Mar Ferrol

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.

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 S. Wind from the S blows onshore, wind from the N blows out to sea, and wind from the W or E runs along the shore. It is sheltered to the open sea. The sea floor shelves moderately: 10 m deep about 250 m out (1 in 26). The sea is about 13°C in February, its coldest month (4/3 wetsuit and boots), and 18°C in August, its warmest (2 mm shorty). For sailing at beginner level the best months are usually January, February, June and September, with about 2 good days in 7. From the weather of past years. The town to stay in is Ferrol.

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.
