Lee shore information


A lee shore, sometimes also called a leeward (/ˈljuːərd/ shore, or more commonly /ˈlwərd/), is a nautical term to describe a stretch of shoreline that is to the lee side of a vessel—meaning the wind is blowing towards land. Its opposite, the shore on the windward side of the vessel, is called the weather or windward shore (/ˈwɪnərd/ or, more commonly, /ˈwɪndwərd/).

Due to the dangers of being driven aground on a lee shore it is essential seamanship to treat one with caution.
