weather
This means short passages, comfortable temperatures, no big waves, and no night sailing. Expect calm sailing with opportunities for deep immersion in the region's nature and culture.
Spring in Galicia brings mild temperatures and stable weather patterns. The rias provide excellent shelter from the ocean swell, creating comfortable conditions for both sailing and painting. While Atlantic winds can occasionally bring short periods of rain, April typically offers plenty of clear days with good visibility. The water temperature is still cool, but the days are getting longer, providing ample natural light for our artistic practice.
