depends where u r
trades in northern parts/cocos etc can be very good

frontal wind in perth can b ok , BUT need to be very selective if u are a newbie

clear sky nw good

generally if there are clouds and especially if there is rain will be gusty tending to squally = not good

rotto readings can give an indication of whats comming

also look at seabreeze graphs, if saw toothing (up down up down) not good, i find if gusts > 8-10kn higher than average also ****e

if in doubt dont go out
there was a death at r'ham in nwesters a few yrs ago - gusty ++ that day
