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 Fisherman's Village Marina
Known for 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 28°C: no wetsuit. Typical sea temperature for the time of year, not a forecast.
A harbour, 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. 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 25°C in January, its coldest month (no wetsuit), and 30°C in July, its warmest (no wetsuit). For sailing at expert level the best months are usually January, March and December, with about 5 good days in 7; in June, July and September, about 2. From the weather of past years. No town nearby. Nearest beds: Alice Town, 3 km (about 5 min by car). Nearest airport: South Bimini Airport (BIM), 5 km. Within 5 km we also list 2 wind sports spots and 1 dive site.
