Water about 27°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 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 25°C in January, its coldest month (no wetsuit), and 30°C in July, its warmest (no wetsuit). For sailing at intermediate level the best month is usually April, with about 6 good days in 7; in August and September, about 4. From the weather of past years. The town to stay in is Nassau. Within 5 km we also list 2 dive sites.
