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 Ustica Small Marina
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 20°C: 2 mm shorty. Typical sea temperature for the time of year, not a forecast.
A spot for sailing, 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. 2 boat hire places within 10 km. The sea is about 15°C in January, its coldest month (4/3 wetsuit and boots), and 28°C in August, its warmest (no wetsuit). The town to stay in is Ustica. Within 5 km we also list 13 dive sites.
