On the clock
09:00 · 15:00 · 16:00 · 20:00
No fixed fill-in; the wind comes with the weather rather than from a clock. A weak sea-breeze reinforcement rides on top of it. Modelled hourly wind for May to September holds near 6.5 kt through the night, lifts from about 09:00, peaks at 15:00-16:00 near 9 kt, and drops back by 20:00. On a synoptic day the wind holds through the night and the diurnal shape stops mattering.
The marks are the clock times the record names, laid on a 24-hour day. The bar between the first and the last covers those hours; it is not a promise of wind.

The quiver, in words
Indicative, derived from the wind band rather than measured locally.For a 75-85 kg rider: 12 m on the common 12-15 kt days, 10 m at 16-20 kt, 9 m when a front pushes it past 20 kt, and 14-15 m or a foil for the marginal days that make up most of a Baltic summer.Waves and a full wetsuit both argue for the larger end of any bracket.
Character
Thermal or synoptic
mixed (thermal in summer, synoptic systems spring/autumn)
Average strength
No Nemirseta-specific figure was found. The neighbouring stretch of the same coast averages about 8 kt in July-August and up to about 17 kt in January.
Typical strength
Sessions run on 12-20 kt. Modelled hourly wind at the beach averages 6.4-8.2 kt from May to September and about 10 kt from December to February, and only 13-19% of summer afternoon hours reach 12 kt or more. A day with usable wind is the exception here, so you plan around a forecast rather than a season.

Tides
Baltic Sea tides are not a practical planning factor; HELCOM describes the Baltic Sea as having no tides, while scientific tide studies describe only small tidal oscillations.
Temperature
18 °C summer · 4 °C winter
Modelled monthly average: 3–22 °C
Wetsuit
Wetsuit needed year-round. Baltic water near Palanga stays cold even in summer, with summer averages roughly 18–21 °C and winter around 0–4 °C.

Rider tips
- Check the current beach zoning and swimmer areas before you rig in summer.
- Use the open space: set up away from the designated pet beach and the family end.
- Bring more neoprene than you expect; Baltic water swings fast and the summer average here is around 18 C.
- Come in from the Nemirseta bus stop toward the parking area if you are not driving to the beach itself.
- Watch the forecast rather than the calendar. Only about one summer afternoon hour in six reaches 12 kt, so the trip is built around a wind window, not a week.
- Rig on the big side. Most rideable days here sit at the bottom of the range, and the wetsuit costs you power.
