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 Al-Mukha Auction 1
Known for sailing, by the OpenStreetMap map of the area. The shore faces W, so wind from the E blows out to sea (our estimate from the coastline).
Water about 28°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 W. Wind from the W blows onshore, wind from the E blows out to sea, and wind from the N or S runs along the shore. It is sheltered to the open sea. The sea is about 26°C in January, its coldest month (no wetsuit), and 32°C in September, its warmest (no wetsuit). For sailing at intermediate level the best month is usually July, with about 6 good days in 7. From the weather of past years. The town to stay in is Mocha.
The score is the conditions only: the journey, the price and the partners never change it (how we score, how we earn).
