Provisional Forecast for Race Day 14:
Thursday 19th Sept
On Thursday 19th Sept, morning winds will be light and variable. By midday, a Southerly breeze will start to develop, increasing to 6 to 11 knots during the afternoon races. Waves will be 0.8 meters from the East with a 6-second interval. The wind and wave direction will create a 90° angle, making foiling more challenging. The sky will be partly sunny and cloudy with a minimal chance of showers, temperatures reaching up to 23°C inland.
Friday 20th Sept
Weather conditions will worsen with rain and showers anticipated throughout the day. In the afternoon, winds from the East at around 5 to 10 knots are predicted, but these may be unstable due to the rain. Expect another update before race time on Friday morning with the latest model forecasts.
