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 Diogo-sur-Mer
Known for sailing, by the OpenStreetMap map of the area. The shore faces NW, so wind from the SE 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 harbour, as OpenStreetMap maps it, on a shore facing NW. Wind from the NW blows onshore, wind from the SE blows out to sea, and wind from the NE or SW 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 18°C in February, its coldest month (2 mm shorty), and 29°C in September, its warmest (no wetsuit). For sailing at beginner level the best months are usually June, July, August and October, with about 5 good days in 7; in January, February and December, about 2. From the weather of past years. The town to stay in is Mboro.
