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 Turkmenbashi small craft port
Known for sailing, by the OpenStreetMap map of the area. The shore faces SE, so wind from the NW blows out to sea (our estimate from the coastline).
Water about 15°C: 4/3 wetsuit and boots. Typical sea temperature for the time of year, not a forecast.
A harbour, as OpenStreetMap maps it, on a shore facing SE. Wind from the SE blows onshore, wind from the NW blows out to sea, and wind from the SW or NE runs along the shore. It is sheltered 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 8°C in January, its coldest month (5/4 or 6/5, hood, boots and gloves), and 27°C in August, its warmest (no wetsuit). For sailing at beginner level the best month is usually December, with about 4 good days in 7. From the weather of past years. The town to stay in is Türkmenbaşy.
The score is the conditions only: the journey, the price and the partners never change it (how we score, how we earn).
