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 Andros
Known for kitesurfing and windsurfing, by the OpenStreetMap map of the area. The shore faces NE, so wind from the SW blows out to sea (our estimate from the coastline).
Water about 19°C: 2 mm shorty. Typical sea temperature for the time of year, not a forecast.
A spot for kitesurfing and windsurfing, as OpenStreetMap maps it, on a shore facing NE. Wind from the NE blows onshore, wind from the SW blows out to sea, and wind from the SE or NW runs along the shore. It is sheltered to the open sea. The sea floor shelves moderately: 10 m deep about 250 m out (1 in 24). The sea is about 16°C in January, its coldest month (3/2 wetsuit), and 24°C in July, its warmest (no wetsuit). For windsurfing at beginner level the best months are usually April, May, June and September, with about 2 good days in 7. From the weather of past years. The town to stay in is Andros. Within 5 km we also list 2 surf spots.
