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 Ist
Known for sailing, by the OpenStreetMap map of the area. The shore faces SE, so wind from the NW blows out to sea (our estimate from the coastline).
Water about 19°C: 2 mm shorty. Typical sea temperature for the time of year, not a forecast.
A harbour, as OpenStreetMap maps it, on a shore facing SE. Wind from the SE blows onshore, wind from the NW blows out to sea, and wind from the SW or NE 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 13°C in February, its coldest month (4/3 wetsuit and boots), and 26°C in August, its warmest (no wetsuit). No town nearby. Nearest beds: Soline, 17 km (about 30 min by car). Nearest airport: Zadar Airport (ZAD), 51 km. Within 5 km we also list 1 wind sports spot.
The score is the conditions only: the journey, the price and the partners never change it (how we score, how we earn).
Rough cost (estimate): about US$879–US$1,720 each
about US$879–US$1,720 each · 6 nights, 2 sharing: flights, hire car, food.
