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 Cais
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 harbour, 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. We found no boat hire, sailing school or club within 10 km on the map, so bring your own boat here. For sailing at expert level the best months are usually July, August and September, with about 5 good days in 7; in January and February, about 0. From the weather of past years. The town to stay in is Xique-Xique.
The score is the conditions only: the journey, the price and the partners never change it (how we score, how we earn).
