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 Harbour for local traffic

Known for sailing, by the OpenStreetMap map of the area. The shore faces S, so wind from the N blows out to sea (our estimate from the coastline).

A spot for sailing, as OpenStreetMap maps it, on a shore facing S. Wind from the S blows onshore, wind from the N blows out to sea, and wind from the W or E runs along the shore. For sailing at beginner level the best months are usually April, May and June, with about 4 good days in 7; in September and October, about 1. From the weather of past years. The town to stay in is Nakatunguru.

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

Where to stay: Nakatunguru
