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 Christmas Cove Yacht Club
Known for sailing, by the OpenStreetMap map of the area. The shore faces SE, so wind from the NW 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 spot for sailing, as OpenStreetMap maps it, on a shore facing SE. Wind from the SE blows onshore, wind from the NW blows out to sea, and wind from the SW or NE runs along the shore. It is exposed to the open sea. 2 sailing schools or clubs and 7 boat hire places within 10 km. The sea is about 4°C in February, its coldest month (5/4 or 6/5, hood, boots and gloves), and 17°C in August, its warmest (3/2 wetsuit). No town nearby. South Bristol, 2 km away, is the nearest town we list; we have not checked places to stay there. Nearest beds: Boothbay Harbor, 6 km (about 15 min by car). Nearest airport: Knox County Regional Airport (RKD), 44 km. Within 5 km we also list 1 wind sports spot and 1 kayak spot.
