Here a northwest wind is offshore (no-go)
At these spots a northwest wind blows off the land and pushes you onto open water if something goes wrong: Fehmarn Orth, Kloster, Amager Strandpark, Åkrogen, Gruissan (Vieille Nouvelle), Maguelone (Cathédrale). How Windulu judges wind direction and safety is explained on the method page.
