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 Bugonga Landing Site

Known for sailing, by the OpenStreetMap map of the area. The shore faces SE, so wind from the NW blows out to sea (our estimate from the coastline).

A spot for sailing, as OpenStreetMap maps it, on a shore facing SE. Wind from the SE blows onshore, wind from the NW blows out to sea, and wind from the SW or NE runs along the shore. For sailing at beginner level the best months are usually February, March, April and May, with about 6 good days in 7; in October, about 3. From the weather of past years. The town to stay in is Entebbe. Within 5 km we also list 4 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).
