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 AVCR - École de Voile
Known for sailing, 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 17°C: 3/2 wetsuit. Typical sea temperature for the time of year, not a forecast.
A spot for sailing, 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 moderately: 10 m deep about 300 m out (1 in 31). 2 sailing schools or clubs and 2 boat hire places within 10 km. The sea is about 13°C in February, its coldest month (4/3 wetsuit and boots), and 23°C in August, its warmest (2 mm shorty). For sailing at intermediate level the best months are usually June and July, with about 5 good days in 7; in August, September and December, about 3. From the weather of past years. The town to stay in is Carry-le-Rouet. Within 5 km we also list 2 surf spots, 2 wind sports spots and 1 kayak spot.
