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 Church Street Marina
Known for sailing, by the OpenStreetMap map of the area. The shore faces S, so wind from the N blows out to sea (our estimate from the coastline).
Water about 14°C: 4/3 wetsuit and boots. Typical sea temperature for the time of year, not a forecast.
A spot for sailing, as OpenStreetMap maps it, on a shore facing S. Wind from the S blows onshore, wind from the N blows out to sea, and wind from the W or E runs along the shore. It is sheltered to the open sea. 3 sailing schools or clubs and 2 boat hire places within 10 km. The sea is about 5°C in February, its coldest month (5/4 or 6/5, hood, boots and gloves), and 21°C in July, its warmest (2 mm shorty). For sailing at beginner level the best months are usually June and July, with about 4 good days in 7; in January and September, about 2. From the weather of past years. The town to stay in is Newport.
