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 Xincheng Tourist Pier
Known for sailing, by the OpenStreetMap map of the area. The shore faces S, so wind from the N blows out to sea (our estimate from the coastline).
Water about 14°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 S. Wind from the S blows onshore, wind from the N blows out to sea, and wind from the W or E 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 2°C in February, its coldest month (5/4 or 6/5, hood, boots and gloves), and 26°C in August, its warmest (no wetsuit). For sailing at beginner level the best months are usually June and July, with about 5 good days in 7; in January and December, about 2. From the weather of past years. No town nearby. Nearest place to stay we found: Hampton by Hilton Tangshan Caofeidian, Tangshan, 19 km. Nearest beds: Beidaihe, 106 km. Nearest airport: Qinhuangdao Beidaihe Airport (BPE), 68 km.
