Nova

Nova is a sheltered bay spot on Estonia's western coast, characterized by a gently sloping sandy beach backed by dense coniferous forest. The water body appears to be a protected inlet with limited wave exposure and choppy conditions typical of Baltic coastal zones. The spot faces northwest toward open water, making northeast winds ideal for side-shore conditions. With average wind speeds of 9 knots and low wind reliability (21.2%), this is a marginal wind spot suitable primarily for light-wind sessions. Wave heights average 0.72m, indicating small, gentle conditions better for learning than progression. The narrow beach corridor and shallow water approach make this suitable for beginners seeking protected conditions. Water temperatures around 7.8°C require appropriate thermal protection year-round. The forested shoreline limits spectator areas and rescue access points. Best sessions occur during rare stronger wind events when northeast winds push across the bay. This spot works best as a learning location during optimal wind windows rather than a primary destination.
