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 Bandon
Known for kitesurfing and windsurfing, by the OpenStreetMap map of the area. The shore faces NW, so wind from the SE blows out to sea (our estimate from the coastline).
Water about 12°C: 4/3 or 5/4, boots and gloves. 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 NW. Wind from the NW blows onshore, wind from the SE blows out to sea, and wind from the NE or SW runs along the shore. It is exposed to the open sea. The sea floor shelves very gently: 10 m deep about 1.8 km out (1 in 182). The sea is about 10°C in February, its coldest month (4/3 or 5/4, boots and gloves), and 13°C in September, its warmest (4/3 wetsuit and boots). For windsurfing at intermediate level the best month is usually July, with about 5 good days in 7; in January, November and December, about 1. From the weather of past years. The town to stay in is Bandon. Within 5 km we also list 1 surf spot.
