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 Wolmyeong Cruise Ship
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, March, April and December, with about 4 good days in 7; in June, about 2. From the weather of past years. The town to stay in is Gunsan.
