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 Buaganga Landing Site

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).

A harbour, 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. We found no boat hire, sailing school or club within 10 km on the map, so bring your own boat here. For sailing at beginner level the best months are usually March, April and May, with about 6 good days in 7; in January and December, about 3. From the weather of past years. No town nearby. Nearest place to stay we found: Nkima Forest Lodge, 13 km. Nearest beds: Entebbe, 22 km (about 40 min by car). Nearest airport: Entebbe International Airport (EBB), 18 km. Within 5 km we also list 1 wind sports spot.

The score is the conditions only: the journey, the price and the partners never change it (how we score, how we earn).
