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 Shijing Port
Known for sailing, by the OpenStreetMap map of the area. The shore faces NE, so wind from the SW blows out to sea (our estimate from the coastline).
Water about 21°C: 2 mm shorty. Typical sea temperature for the time of year, not a forecast.
A spot for sailing, as OpenStreetMap maps it, on a shore facing NE. Wind from the NE blows onshore, wind from the SW blows out to sea, and wind from the SE or NW runs along the shore. It is exposed to the open sea. The sea is about 13°C in February, its coldest month (4/3 wetsuit and boots), and 28°C in August, its warmest (no wetsuit). For sailing at expert level the best months are usually January, July and December, with about 6 good days in 7; in April, about 4. From the weather of past years. The town to stay in is Wenling.
