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 Punto Náutico
Known for sailing, by the OpenStreetMap map of the area. The shore faces NW, so wind from the SE blows out to sea (our estimate from the coastline).
Water about 28°C: no wetsuit. Typical sea temperature for the time of year, not a forecast.
A spot for sailing, as OpenStreetMap maps it, on a shore facing NW. Wind from the NW blows onshore, wind from the SE blows out to sea, and wind from the NE or SW runs along the shore. It is sheltered to the open sea. The sea floor shelves steeply: 10 m deep about 150 m out (1 in 13). 1 sailing school or club and 1 boat hire place within 10 km. The sea is about 26°C in February, its coldest month (no wetsuit), and 29°C in July, its warmest (no wetsuit). For sailing at expert level the best month is usually July, with about 5 good days in 7; in May, September and October, about 2. From the weather of past years. The town to stay in is Guardalavaca.
