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 Landing Site
Known for sailing, by the OpenStreetMap map of the area. The shore faces W, so wind from the E blows out to sea (our estimate from the coastline).
A harbour, as OpenStreetMap maps it, on a shore facing W. Wind from the W blows onshore, wind from the E blows out to sea, and wind from the N or S 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 beginner level the best month is usually July, with about 1 good days in 7. From the weather of past years. No town nearby. Rubanda, 109 km away, is the nearest town we list; we have not checked places to stay there. Nearest place to stay we found: Mweya Safari Lodge, Lake Katwe, 2 km. Nearest beds: Kabale, 116 km. Nearest airport: Savannah Airstrip (KHX), 60 km. Within 5 km we also list 1 wind sports spot.
The score is the conditions only: the journey, the price and the partners never change it (how we score, how we earn).
