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 Puerto Deportivo Punta Umbría
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 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 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 exposed 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 15°C in February, its coldest month (4/3 wetsuit and boots), and 23°C in August, its warmest (2 mm shorty). For sailing at expert level the best months are usually February, March and April, with about 2 good days in 7; in July and August, about 0. From the weather of past years. The town to stay in is Punta Umbría. Within 5 km we also list 1 surf spot and 1 wind sports spot.
