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 Lompoul-sur-Mer
Known for sailing, by the OpenStreetMap map of the area. The shore faces NW, so wind from the SE blows out to sea (our estimate from the coastline).
Water about 27°C: no wetsuit. Typical sea temperature for the time of year, not a forecast.
A spot for sailing, as OpenStreetMap maps it, on a shore facing NW. Wind from the NW blows onshore, wind from the SE blows out to sea, and wind from the NE or SW runs along the shore. It is exposed to the open sea. The sea is about 18°C in February, its coldest month (2 mm shorty), and 29°C in September, its warmest (no wetsuit). For sailing at expert level the best month is usually April, with about 7 good days in 7; in September, about 3. From the weather of past years. No town nearby.
