◍ Calculated automatically from the coastline

The orientation is derived automatically from the shore geometry in OpenStreetMap and has not yet been checked by a human. Help us confirm it — tell us below how accurate the forecast turned out.

A beach near the settlement of Kato Rodakino, oriented to the southeast. The landscape is characteristic of the area.

Wind & waves: when to go

Real shoreline from OpenStreetMap at a fixed scale so the diagrams are comparable with one another — the dot marks the beach.

The beach faces south. With northerly winds the air flows offshore and the water near the shore stays flat; with southerly winds the sea builds up waves onto the beach. The orientation is computed from the shape of the shore; how much its bay shelters it has not been checked yet.
