About sailing in Palma de Mallorca

Palma's bay opens to the Balearic Sea with the Tramuntana mountains as backdrop — a major charter and regatta base.

Best time to sail

May through October; September regattas and warm water make autumn especially popular.

Sailing notes

Tramontana winds can funnel violently off the mountains; busy ferry lanes near the port entrance.

Wind and local conditions

Thermal sea breezes from the south in summer; Tramontana and Mistral events bring strong north winds.

What SailCall covers

Conditions at a glance

What stood out in the forecast

Wind

Good

9 kt · BF 3

Sustained to 9 kt · gusts to 19 kt · BF 5

Beaufort 5 — a workable breeze for most day sails. Watch for funneling between headlands and tall buildings near harbors; local gusts can exceed the open-water forecast.

Rain

Good

0%

0.0 mm total · 0% peak chance · 0 wet hour(s)

Little rain expected — one less factor stealing visibility and grip on deck. Still pack a light jacket; conditions change faster on the water than ashore.

Air temperature

Fair

32°C

Air 24–32°C · feels like 24–33°C

Feels-like 24–33°C once wind and humidity count. Layer so you can cool off in sun and warm up when wet; shivering crews make poor decisions.

Visibility

Good

19 nm

Lowest 19 nm · best 25 nm today

Generally clear sightlines (about 35.7–25 nm). Good for spotting traffic and shoreline references — still verify charted marks; glare and spray can fool you even on “clear” days.

Barometric pressure

Good

1020 hPa

1020 hPa → steady

Pressure is steady — no strong synoptic system pushing through on this snapshot. Local wind, sea breeze, and geography still dominate near shore.

UV / sun

Fair

UV 8

High index — plan sun protection before you leave the dock. · peak near 14:00

UV 8.0 is elevated. Cloud cover does not block all UV — protect skin and eyes, especially on white decks and sails.
