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 Garf Hussein Harbour

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 harbour, 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. We found no boat hire, sailing school or club within 10 km on the map, so bring your own boat here. For sailing at expert level the best months are usually January, February, March and September, with about 4 good days in 7; in July, about 2. From the weather of past years. No town nearby. Nearest beds: Aswān, 97 km. Nearest airport: Aswan International Airport (ASW), 81 km.

The score is the conditions only: the journey, the price and the partners never change it (how we score, how we earn).
