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 Osmosis
Known for kitesurfing, 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 25°C: no wetsuit. Typical sea temperature for the time of year, not a forecast.
A spot for kitesurfing, 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 exposed to the open sea. The sea floor shelves very gently: 10 m deep about 4.2 km out (1 in 417). The sea is about 23°C in September, its coldest month (2 mm shorty), and 28°C in January, its warmest (no wetsuit). For kitesurfing at expert level the best months are usually June, July, August and September, with about 6 good days in 7. From the weather of past years. The town to stay in is Port Sud Est.
The score is the conditions only: the journey, the price and the partners never change it (how we score, how we earn).
