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 Echo Bay
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 9°C: 4/3 or 5/4, boots and gloves. 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. 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 7°C in January, its coldest month (5/4 or 6/5, hood, boots and gloves), and 13°C in August, its warmest (4/3 wetsuit and boots). For sailing at beginner level the best months are usually May, June, July and August, with about 3 good days in 7; in January, about 0. From the weather of past years. No town nearby. Sointula, 39 km away, is the nearest town we list; we have not checked places to stay there. Nearest place to stay we found: Paddlers Inn, Area A (Seymour Inlet/Knight Inlet), 1 km. Nearest beds: Port McNeill, 45 km (about 1h 20m by car). Nearest airport: Port Hardy Airport (YZT), 62 km.
