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 Katakolon Port
Known for sailing, by the OpenStreetMap map of the area. The shore faces E, so wind from the W blows out to sea (our estimate from the coastline).
Water about 21°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 E. Wind from the E blows onshore, wind from the W blows out to sea, and wind from the S or N runs along the shore. It is sheltered to the open sea. The sea is about 16°C in February, its coldest month (3/2 wetsuit), and 27°C in August, its warmest (no wetsuit). For sailing at expert level the best month is usually July, with about 3 good days in 7; in September and October, about 1. From the weather of past years. No town nearby. Nearest beds: Katákolo, 1 km (about 5 min by car). Nearest airport: Zakynthos International Airport Dionysios Solomos (ZTH), 40 km.
