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 Prasonisi
Known for kitesurfing and windsurfing, 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).
Water about 22°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 S. 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. It is sheltered to the open sea. The sea floor shelves gently: 10 m deep about 650 m out (1 in 64). The sea is about 18°C in January, its coldest month (2 mm shorty), and 28°C in August, its warmest (no wetsuit). For windsurfing at intermediate level the best months are usually January and February, with about 2 good days in 7. From the weather of past years. No town nearby. Nearest place to stay we found: Oasis Hotel Prasonisi, Αποκεντρωμένη Διοίκηση Αιγαίου, 1 km. Nearest beds: Lindos, 36 km (about 1h 05m by car). Nearest airport: Rhodes International Airport "Diagoras" (RHO), 65 km. Within 5 km we also list 1 surf spot.
