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 École de voile
Known for sailing, by the OpenStreetMap map of the area. The shore faces E, so wind from the W blows out to sea (our estimate from the coastline).
Water about 7°C: 5/4 or 6/5, hood, boots and gloves. Typical sea temperature for the time of year, not a forecast.
A spot for sailing, as OpenStreetMap maps it, on a shore facing E. Wind from the E blows onshore, wind from the W blows out to sea, and wind from the S or N runs along the shore. It is sheltered to the open sea. The sea floor shelves very gently: 10 m deep about 1.3 km out (1 in 132). 1 sailing school or club and 1 boat hire place within 10 km. The sea is about 1°C in February, its coldest month (5/4 or 6/5, hood, boots and gloves), and 16°C in August, its warmest (3/2 wetsuit). The town to stay in is Saint-Pierre. Within 5 km we also list 2 dive sites.
The score is the conditions only: the journey, the price and the partners never change it (how we score, how we earn).
Where to stay: Saint-Pierre
