Typical, not a forecast. Reanalysis wind misses some local thermal winds, so a spot known for an afternoon breeze may do better than this.

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).

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. 11 sailing schools or clubs and 11 boat hire places within 10 km. For sailing at beginner level the best month is usually February, with about 3 good days in 7; in July and August, about 1. From the weather of past years. The town to stay in is Starnberg. Within 5 km we also list 1 wind sports spot, 3 dive sites and 2 kayak spots.
