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 Petit Port Sidi Lakhdar
Known for sailing, by the OpenStreetMap map of the area. The shore faces N, so wind from the S 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 spot for sailing, as OpenStreetMap maps it, on a shore facing N. Wind from the N blows onshore, wind from the S blows out to sea, and wind from the E or W 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 25°C in August, its warmest (no wetsuit). For sailing at intermediate level the best months are usually March, April, May and June, with about 4 good days in 7. From the weather of past years. No town nearby.
