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. 5 boat hire places within 10 km. The sea is about 14°C in February, its coldest month (4/3 wetsuit and boots), and 26°C in July, its warmest (no wetsuit). For sailing at expert level the best months are usually January, March and November, with about 4 good days in 7; in August, about 1. From the weather of past years. The town to stay in is Macinaggio.
