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 Mweya Lodge Pier
Known for sailing, by the OpenStreetMap map of the area. The shore faces E, so wind from the W blows out to sea (our estimate from the coastline).
A spot for sailing, as OpenStreetMap maps it, on a shore facing E. Wind from the E blows onshore, wind from the W blows out to sea, and wind from the S or N runs along the shore. For sailing at beginner level the best months are usually November and December, with about 1 good days in 7. From the weather of past years. No town nearby. Rubanda, 111 km away, is the nearest town we list; we have not checked places to stay there. Nearest place to stay we found: Mweya Safari Lodge, Lake Katwe, 0 km. Nearest beds: Kabale, 118 km. Nearest airport: Savannah Airstrip (KHX), 63 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).
Rough cost (estimate): about US$1,110–US$2,220 each
about US$1,110–US$2,220 each · 6 nights, 2 sharing: flights, hire car, food.
