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 Imok Port
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 17°C: 3/2 wetsuit. Typical sea temperature for the time of year, not a forecast.
A spot for sailing, 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. The sea is about 12°C in March, its coldest month (4/3 or 5/4, boots and gloves), and 27°C in August, its warmest (no wetsuit). For sailing at expert level the best month is usually January, with about 5 good days in 7. From the weather of past years. No town nearby. Mokpo, 73 km away, is the nearest town we list; we have not checked places to stay there. Nearest place to stay we found: 보길도, 노화읍, 1 km. Nearest beds: Seogwipo, 103 km. Nearest airport: Jeju International Airport (CJU), 74 km.
