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 King's School Boathouse
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).
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. 15 sailing schools or clubs and 34 boat hire places within 10 km. For sailing at intermediate level the best months are usually September and November, with about 3 good days in 7; in April and May, about 1. From the weather of past years. The town to stay in is Parramatta. Within 5 km we also list 1 wind sports spot.
