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 Xuhai Fishing Port
Known for sailing, by the OpenStreetMap map of the area. The shore faces E, so wind from the W blows out to sea (our estimate from the coastline).
Water about 27°C: no wetsuit. Typical sea temperature for the time of year, not a forecast.
A harbour, as OpenStreetMap maps it, on a shore facing E. Wind from the E blows onshore, wind from the W blows out to sea, and wind from the S or N runs along the shore. It is exposed 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 25°C in January, its coldest month (no wetsuit), and 29°C in June, its warmest (no wetsuit). For sailing at expert level the best months are usually January, November and December, with about 6 good days in 7; in August and September, about 3. From the weather of past years. No town nearby. Nearest place to stay we found: 旭海日出東方 露營區, 牡丹鄉, 0 km. Nearest beds: Hengchun, 26 km (about 50 min by car). Nearest airport: Lanyu Airport (KYD), 69 km.
The score is the conditions only: the journey, the price and the partners never change it (how we score, how we earn).
