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 Le port
Known for sailing, by the OpenStreetMap map of the area. The shore faces NE, so wind from the SW blows out to sea (our estimate from the coastline).
Water about 18°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 NE. Wind from the NE blows onshore, wind from the SW blows out to sea, and wind from the SE or NW runs along the shore. It is sheltered to the open sea. The sea is about 14°C in January, its coldest month (4/3 wetsuit and boots), and 24°C in August, its warmest (no wetsuit). For sailing at expert level the best months are usually March and November, with about 4 good days in 7; in August, about 2. From the weather of past years. The town to stay in is La Seyne-sur-Mer. Within 5 km we also list 5 surf spots, 3 wind sports spots and 1 dive site.
