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 Royal Papua Yatch Club
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).
Water about 28°C: no wetsuit. Typical sea temperature for the time of year, not a forecast.
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. It is sheltered to the open sea. The sea floor shelves gently: 10 m deep about 450 m out (1 in 44). The sea is about 26°C in July, its coldest month (no wetsuit), and 30°C in January, its warmest (no wetsuit). For sailing at intermediate level the best months are usually July and August, with about 5 good days in 7. From the weather of past years. The town to stay in is Port Moresby.
The score is the conditions only: the journey, the price and the partners never change it (how we score, how we earn).
