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 Todos Santos
Known for kitesurfing and windsurfing, by the OpenStreetMap map of the area. The shore faces SW, so wind from the NE blows out to sea (our estimate from the coastline).
Water about 27°C: no wetsuit. Typical sea temperature for the time of year, not a forecast.
A spot for kitesurfing and windsurfing, as OpenStreetMap maps it, on a shore facing SW. Wind from the SW blows onshore, wind from the NE blows out to sea, and wind from the NW or SE runs along the shore. It is exposed to the open sea. The sea floor shelves steeply: 10 m deep about 150 m out (1 in 17). The sea is about 19°C in May, its coldest month (2 mm shorty), and 28°C in August, its warmest (no wetsuit). For windsurfing at beginner level the best months are usually April, May and June, with about 7 good days in 7; in January and December, about 1. From the weather of past years. The town to stay in is Todos Santos.
