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 Cảng Mỹ Thủy (Dự Kiến)
Known for sailing, by the OpenStreetMap map of the area. The shore faces NE, so wind from the SW blows out to sea (our estimate from the coastline).
Water about 27°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 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 exposed 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 22°C in February, its coldest month (2 mm shorty), and 30°C in June, its warmest (no wetsuit). For sailing at expert level the best months are usually July, November and December, with about 3 good days in 7; in May, about 0. From the weather of past years. The town to stay in is Hải Lăng.
