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 Tweed Valley Sailing Club
Known for sailing, by the OpenStreetMap map of the area. The shore faces NE, so wind from the SW blows out to sea (our estimate from the coastline).
Water about 24°C: no wetsuit. Typical sea temperature for the time of year, not a forecast.
A spot for sailing, as OpenStreetMap maps it, on a shore facing NE. Wind from the NE blows onshore, wind from the SW blows out to sea, and wind from the SE or NW runs along the shore. It is exposed to the open sea. The sea floor shelves gently: 10 m deep about 850 m out (1 in 85). 1 sailing school or club and 3 boat hire places within 10 km. The sea is about 21°C in August, its coldest month (2 mm shorty), and 27°C in February, its warmest (no wetsuit). For sailing at beginner level the best months are usually January, November and December, with about 6 good days in 7; in June and July, about 2. From the weather of past years. The town to stay in is Tweed Heads. Within 5 km we also list 22 surf spots and 1 wind sports spot.
