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 Narvik Småbåthavn
Known for sailing, by the OpenStreetMap map of the area. The shore faces NW, so wind from the SE blows out to sea (our estimate from the coastline).
Water about 8°C: 5/4 or 6/5, hood, boots and gloves. Typical sea temperature for the time of year, not a forecast.
A harbour, as OpenStreetMap maps it, on a shore facing NW. Wind from the NW blows onshore, wind from the SE blows out to sea, and wind from the NE or SW runs along the shore. We found no boat hire, sailing school or club within 10 km on the map, so bring your own boat here. The sea is about 3°C in March, its coldest month (5/4 or 6/5, hood, boots and gloves), and 13°C in August, its warmest (4/3 wetsuit and boots). For sailing at beginner level the best month is usually June, with about 2 good days in 7; in February, October and November, about 0. From the weather of past years. The town to stay in is Narvik. Within 5 km we also list 1 ski resort and 1 wind sports spot.
