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 Lakey Peak Beach
Known for kitesurfing and windsurfing, by the OpenStreetMap map of the area. The shore faces SW, so wind from the NE blows out to sea (our estimate from the coastline).
Water about 29°C: no wetsuit. 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 SW. Wind from the SW blows onshore, wind from the NE blows out to sea, and wind from the NW or SE runs along the shore. It is exposed to the open sea. The sea floor shelves steeply: 10 m deep about 150 m out (1 in 14). The sea is about 26°C in August, its coldest month (no wetsuit), and 29°C in January, its warmest (no wetsuit). For windsurfing at intermediate level the best months are usually August, September and October, with about 1 good days in 7. From the weather of past years. No town nearby. Hu U, 10 km away, is the nearest town we list; we have not checked places to stay there. Nearest beds: Labuhanaji, 122 km. Nearest airport: Sultan Muhammad Salahuddin Airport (BMU), 48 km. Within 5 km we also list 1 surf spot and 1 wind sports spot.
