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 Bahman Port
Known for sailing, by the OpenStreetMap map of the area. The shore faces E, so wind from the W blows out to sea (our estimate from the coastline).
Water about 28°C: no wetsuit. Typical sea temperature for the time of year, not a forecast.
A spot for sailing, as OpenStreetMap maps it, on a shore facing E. Wind from the E blows onshore, wind from the W blows out to sea, and wind from the S or N runs along the shore. It is sheltered to the open sea. The sea is about 23°C in January, its coldest month (2 mm shorty), and 33°C in July, its warmest (no wetsuit). For sailing at expert level the best months are usually May, June, July and August, with about 3 good days in 7. From the weather of past years. The town to stay in is Qeshm.
