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 wind&friends
Known for sailing and windsurfing, 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 20°C: 2 mm shorty. Typical sea temperature for the time of year, not a forecast.
A spot for sailing and windsurfing, 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. The sea floor shelves very gently: 10 m deep about 2.2 km out (1 in 222). 2 sailing schools or clubs and 18 boat hire places within 10 km. The sea is about 15°C in January, its coldest month (4/3 wetsuit and boots), and 27°C in August, its warmest (no wetsuit). For sailing at expert level the best months are usually March and November, with about 3 good days in 7. From the weather of past years. The town to stay in is Port Alcudia. Within 5 km we also list 1 surf spot, 1 wind sports spot and 3 kayak spots.
The score is the conditions only: the journey, the price and the partners never change it (how we score, how we earn).
