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 Costa Azul Iate Clube
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 23°C: 2 mm shorty. 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 sheltered to the open sea. The sea floor shelves gently: 10 m deep about 650 m out (1 in 65). The sea is about 21°C in August, its coldest month (2 mm shorty), and 25°C in February, its warmest (no wetsuit). For sailing at expert level the best months are usually August, September and October, with about 5 good days in 7. From the weather of past years. The town to stay in is Cabo Frio. Within 5 km we also list 2 surf spots and 1 wind sports spot.
