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 High-Piled Pier
Known for sailing, by the OpenStreetMap map of the area. The shore faces W, so wind from the E blows out to sea (our estimate from the coastline).
Water about 24°C: no wetsuit. Typical sea temperature for the time of year, not a forecast.
A harbour, as OpenStreetMap maps it, on a shore facing W. Wind from the W blows onshore, wind from the E blows out to sea, and wind from the N or S 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 19°C in January, its coldest month (2 mm shorty), and 30°C in July, its warmest (no wetsuit). For sailing at expert level the best months are usually November and December, with about 6 good days in 7; in September, about 2. From the weather of past years. No town nearby. Xitou, 12 km away, is the nearest town we list; we have not checked places to stay there. Nearest place to stay we found: 蓝波湾大酒店, Yangjiang, 2 km. Nearest beds: Liuzu, 120 km. Nearest airport: Zhuhai Jinwan Airport (ZUH), 167 km.
