Typical, not a forecast. Reanalysis wind misses some local thermal winds, so a spot known for an afternoon breeze may do better than this.

About Antipaxos
Known for kitesurfing and windsurfing, by the OpenStreetMap map of the area. The shore faces SW, so wind from the NE blows out to sea (our estimate from the coastline).
Water about 21°C: 2 mm shorty. Typical sea temperature for the time of year, not a forecast.
A spot for kitesurfing and windsurfing, as OpenStreetMap maps it, on a shore facing SW. Wind from the SW blows onshore, wind from the NE blows out to sea, and wind from the NW or SE runs along the shore. It is exposed to the open sea. The sea is about 16°C in January, its coldest month (3/2 wetsuit), and 26°C in August, its warmest (no wetsuit). No town nearby. Nearest beds: Gaios, 7 km (about 15 min by car). Nearest airport: Aktion National Airport (PVK), 53 km. Within 5 km we also list 1 surf spot and 1 wind sports spot.
