Sea weather

- Stormy days on Drejø force sailors to come to a standstill; a planned sailing holiday turns into days spent in port playing skat, drinking rum and being forced into inactivity.  
- As the strong winds persist, the mood shifts from calm to frustration, self-doubt, worries about the itinerary and questions about the point of the sailing hobby.  
- No sooner has the storm abated than everyone sets off again; an hour’s sailing makes them forget their storm-induced gloom and confirms the ‘madness’ of sailors.

Blown in: Bizarre things sailors experience in the harbour when the weather’s rubbish

- Extreme weather off Wellington, with waves of up to 11.4 metres, gusts of 130 km/h, evacuations and a local state of emergency, highlights the vulnerability of coastal areas.
- Key points for skippers: Wave height, period, swell direction and consequential damage to infrastructure are safety-critical factors, not just local wind speeds.
- El Niño intensifies Pacific storms; studies report more intense spring and autumn storms over the North Sea and Baltic Sea, which will alter cruise planning in the long term.

When the sea gets rough: 11-metre waves off Wellington

- A below-average Atlantic hurricane season with 13 storms and 2 severe hurricanes is expected for 2026 thanks to a strong El Niño.  
- Yacht insurers exclude large zones in the Caribbean and Pacific during hurricane and cyclone seasons or only insure boats subject to strict conditions.  
- El Niño only has a minor impact on the North Sea and Baltic Sea; the main season from May to September remains largely unaffected, normal weather observation is sufficient.
