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 Fuguodun Fishing Port
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 22°C: 2 mm shorty. Typical sea temperature for the time of year, not a forecast.
A harbour, 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. 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 15°C in February, its coldest month (4/3 wetsuit and boots), and 28°C in July, its warmest (no wetsuit). For sailing at beginner level the best months are usually August and September, with about 4 good days in 7; in October, November and December, about 1. From the weather of past years. The town to stay in is Jinhu.
