wind
Seperator

The location and the difference in temperature between mountains and sea provide the side offshore winds of Somabay; thermic winds getting stronger the higher the temperatures. Thanks to the constant early winds, the all year wind statistic is fantastic. For more information, check out our wind&weather graphic.

right of way rules
Seperator

For more fun and fairness on the water, some rules have to be observed. 1) Wind from port gives way to wind from starboard = right hand leading means priority. 2) Windward gives way to leeward 3) Keep clear while overtaking. 4) The rider entering the water has right of way. Check out the video for more information!
