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 Safety Bay
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 20°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 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 very gently: 10 m deep about 3.1 km out (1 in 313). The sea is about 18°C in August, its coldest month (2 mm shorty), and 22°C in January, its warmest (2 mm shorty). For windsurfing at intermediate level the best months are usually January, November and December, with about 3 good days in 7; in March, April and May, about 1. From the weather of past years. The town to stay in is Safety Bay. Within 5 km we also list 4 surf spots, 1 wind sports spot and 1 dive site.
