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 Marina Bay, Gibraltar
Known for sailing, by the OpenStreetMap map of the area. The shore faces W, so wind from the E 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 W. Wind from the W blows onshore, wind from the E blows out to sea, and wind from the N or S runs along the shore. It is sheltered to the open sea. The sea is about 16°C in January, its coldest month (3/2 wetsuit), and 22°C in August, its warmest (2 mm shorty). The town to stay in is Gibraltar. Within 5 km we also list 1 surf spot, 1 wind sports spot, 1 dive site and 1 kayak spot.
