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 Porto di Linosa
Known for sailing, by the OpenStreetMap map of the area. The shore faces SW, so wind from the NE 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 harbour, as OpenStreetMap maps it, on a shore facing SW. Wind from the SW blows onshore, wind from the NE blows out to sea, and wind from the NW or SE 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 16°C in February, its coldest month (3/2 wetsuit), and 27°C in August, its warmest (no wetsuit). For sailing at beginner level the best months are usually July, August and September, with about 3 good days in 7; in January, about 1. From the weather of past years. No town nearby. Nearest place to stay we found: B&B A Casa di Alberto, Lampedusa e Linosa, 1 km. Nearest beds: Lampedusa, 46 km (about 1h 25m by car). Nearest airport: Lampedusa Airport (LMP), 46 km.
