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 Cedar Beach Marina
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 14°C: 4/3 wetsuit and boots. 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 exposed to the open sea. 2 boat hire places within 10 km. The sea is about 4°C in February, its coldest month (5/4 or 6/5, hood, boots and gloves), and 24°C in July, its warmest (no wetsuit). For sailing at beginner level the best months are usually June, July and August, with about 4 good days in 7; in January, about 1. From the weather of past years. No town nearby. Gilgo Beach, 5 km away, is the nearest town we list; we have not checked places to stay there. Nearest beds: Lindenhurst, 6 km (about 15 min by car).
