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 St Mary's Loch Sailing Club
Known for sailing, by the OpenStreetMap map of the area. The shore faces N, so wind from the S blows out to sea (our estimate from the coastline).
A spot for sailing, as OpenStreetMap maps it, on a shore facing N. Wind from the N blows onshore, wind from the S blows out to sea, and wind from the E or W runs along the shore. For sailing at intermediate level the best months are usually February and October, with about 5 good days in 7; in November, about 3. From the weather of past years. The town to stay in is Innerleithen.
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$1,160–US$2,170 each
about US$1,160–US$2,170 each · 6 nights, 2 sharing: flights, hire car, stay, food.
