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 Koja 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 March, April and May, with about 6 good days in 7; in January, October and December, about 3. From the weather of past years. No town nearby. Kasanje, 25 km away, is the nearest town we list; we have not checked places to stay there. Nearest place to stay we found: Nkima Forest Lodge, 15 km. Nearest beds: Entebbe, 26 km (about 50 min by car). Nearest airport: Entebbe International Airport (EBB), 22 km. Within 5 km we also list 2 wind sports spots.

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