August is Maine’s most popular month for tourism due to the perfect weather. The water is about as warm as it gets, somewhere around 60 degrees, the sun is nearly always out keeping our days around 80-85 degrees. Nights will drop to 65-70. Despite this warmth during the day, you will need to dress for colder weather while we sail. Temperatures on the water, with the wind chill, will feel more like 65 degrees while we’re moving. Bring layers - sweaters, t-shirts, and a rain jacket for the occasional shower.
Prevailing West and South Westerlies will keep warm moist air circulating, creating foggy mornings, and at times, foggy days. Winds around 15 - 18 kts, make for lovely sailing. Occasional Northerlies will cool things off, and keep us on our toes!
