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 Buluba landing site
Known for sailing, by the OpenStreetMap map of the area. The shore faces SW, so wind from the NE blows out to sea (our estimate from the coastline).
A spot for sailing, as OpenStreetMap maps it, on a shore facing SW. Wind from the SW blows onshore, wind from the NE blows out to sea, and wind from the NW or SE runs along the shore. For sailing at beginner level the best months are usually February, March, April and May, with about 4 good days in 7; in August, September and October, about 1. From the weather of past years. The town to stay in is Magamaga.
The score is the conditions only: the journey, the price and the partners never change it (how we score, how we earn).
