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 Jiugong Pier
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 22°C: 2 mm shorty. 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. 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 expert level the best months are usually January, October, November and December, with about 5 good days in 7; in August, about 2. From the weather of past years. The town to stay in is Shanglin.
