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 Club nautique d'Arès
Known for kitesurfing and 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 16°C: 3/2 wetsuit. Typical sea temperature for the time of year, not a forecast.
A spot for kitesurfing and 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. The sea floor shelves gently: 10 m deep about 800 m out (1 in 79). 3 sailing schools or clubs and 8 boat hire places within 10 km. The sea is about 12°C in February, its coldest month (4/3 or 5/4, boots and gloves), and 22°C in August, its warmest (2 mm shorty). For sailing at beginner level the best months are usually February, November and December, with about 3 good days in 7. From the weather of past years. The town to stay in is Ares New Aquitaine. Within 5 km we also list 2 wind sports spots.
