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 Falmouth Yacht Club
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 13°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 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 very gently: 10 m deep about 1.8 km out (1 in 175). 3 sailing schools or clubs and 1 boat hire place within 10 km. The sea is about 3°C in February, its coldest month (5/4 or 6/5, hood, boots and gloves), and 23°C in August, its warmest (2 mm shorty). The town to stay in is Falmouth. Within 5 km we also list 1 wind sports spot.
The score is the conditions only: the journey, the price and the partners never change it (how we score, how we earn).
