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 Port de Bananier
Known for sailing, by the OpenStreetMap map of the area. The shore faces SE, so wind from the NW blows out to sea (our estimate from the coastline).
Water about 29°C: no wetsuit. Typical sea temperature for the time of year, not a forecast.
A harbour, as OpenStreetMap maps it, on a shore facing SE. Wind from the SE blows onshore, wind from the NW blows out to sea, and wind from the SW or NE runs along the shore. It is sheltered to the open sea. 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 27°C in January, its coldest month (no wetsuit), and 30°C in September, its warmest (no wetsuit). For sailing at beginner level the best months are usually September and October, with about 6 good days in 7; in February and June, about 3. From the weather of past years. The town to stay in is Le Moule. Within 5 km we also list 1 surf spot.
