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 Centre Nautique du Cap d'Agde
Known for kitesurfing and 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 kitesurfing and 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 very gently: 10 m deep about 1.6 km out (1 in 161). 2 sailing schools or clubs and 17 boat hire places within 10 km. The sea is about 12°C in February, its coldest month (4/3 or 5/4, boots and gloves), and 23°C in August, its warmest (2 mm shorty). The town to stay in is Agde. Within 5 km we also list 2 surf spots and 1 dive site.
