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 Sport- und Kulturgemeinschaft Frankfurt e.V. – Wassersportabteilung
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).
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. For sailing at intermediate level the best months are usually January, February and March, with about 3 good days in 7; in June, July and August, about 1. From the weather of past years. The town to stay in is Frankfurt am Main. Within 5 km we also list 1 wind sports spot and 3 kayak spots.
