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 Vecchio di Pianosa
Known for sailing, by the OpenStreetMap map of the area. The shore faces E, so wind from the W 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 E. Wind from the E blows onshore, wind from the W blows out to sea, and wind from the S or N 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 14°C in February, its coldest month (4/3 wetsuit and boots), and 27°C in August, its warmest (no wetsuit). For sailing at beginner level the best month is usually July, with about 4 good days in 7; in January and November, about 2. From the weather of past years. No town nearby. Nearest beds: Seccheto, 18 km (about 35 min by car). Nearest airport: Marina di Campo Airport (EBA), 22 km.
The score is the conditions only: the journey, the price and the partners never change it (how we score, how we earn).
