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 Akliman

Water about 16°C: 3/2 wetsuit. Typical sea temperature for the time of year, not a forecast.
A spot for sailing, as OpenStreetMap maps it, on a shore facing NE. Wind from the NE blows onshore, wind from the SW blows out to sea, and wind from the SE or NW runs along the shore. It is sheltered to the open sea. The sea is about 9°C in February, its coldest month (4/3 or 5/4, boots and gloves), and 26°C in August, its warmest (no wetsuit). For sailing at beginner level the best months are usually July, August and September, with about 4 good days in 7; in January, about 1. From the weather of past years. No town nearby.
