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 Burravoe pier and marina
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 10°C: 4/3 or 5/4, boots and gloves. Typical sea temperature for the time of year, not a forecast.
A harbour, 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. We found no boat hire, sailing school or club within 10 km on the map, so bring your own boat here. The sea is about 8°C in January, its coldest month (5/4 or 6/5, hood, boots and gloves), and 13°C in July, its warmest (4/3 wetsuit and boots). For sailing at beginner level the best months are usually June and August, with about 2 good days in 7. From the weather of past years. No town nearby. Symbister, 17 km away, is the nearest town we list; we have not checked places to stay there. Nearest place to stay we found: Sella Ness Accomodation Facility, Shetland, 14 km. Nearest beds: Lerwick, 39 km (about 1h 10m by car). Nearest airport: Sumburgh Airport (LSI), 70 km.
