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 Iate Clube Armação de Búzios
Known for sailing, by the OpenStreetMap map of the area. The shore faces N, so wind from the S blows out to sea (our estimate from the coastline).
Water about 23°C: 2 mm shorty. Typical sea temperature for the time of year, not a forecast.
A spot for sailing, as OpenStreetMap maps it, on a shore facing N. Wind from the N blows onshore, wind from the S blows out to sea, and wind from the E or W runs along the shore. It is sheltered to the open sea. The sea floor shelves steeply: 10 m deep about 200 m out (1 in 20). 4 sailing schools or clubs and 1 boat hire place within 10 km. The sea is about 21°C in August, its coldest month (2 mm shorty), and 25°C in March, its warmest (no wetsuit). For sailing at expert level the best month is usually September, with about 5 good days in 7; in March, April and June, about 2. From the weather of past years. The town to stay in is Armação dos Búzios. Within 5 km we also list 1 surf spot, 2 wind sports spots and 2 dive sites.
