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 Monastir
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 22°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 exposed to the open sea. The sea is about 16°C in January, its coldest month (3/2 wetsuit), and 28°C in August, its warmest (no wetsuit). The town to stay in is Sousse.
