How's the weather looking for Sunday? 

Pretty good.

 

Paarl is cool with light wind from the SW

Stellies looks to be the same.

Not from what I am seeing on Windguru and windy.com.  According to current forecasts it looks like the wind is going to be absolutely blasting on the weekend.

Windguru doesn't really have any forecast spots close to Stellenbosch/Paarl/Wellington areas.

 

And if you look at windy.com you'll see that the whole area for the SCT is coloured blue/green, so not too bad. Sure... along the coast it's different...

That's so weird. I looked on windguru and this is what I got. This is not the first time someone has looked at windguru and gotten different predictions to me. Maybe we are looking at a different model on windguru?

Yeah that's strange..

 

My windy.com is showing noticeable prevailing wind with pink/purple gusts for this weekend in Paarl and Stellenbosch.

 

I realize windguru doesn't have an official spot in that area, but their forecast is looking extremely windy for Cape Town - and usually that near inland vicinity still gets some of that wind when it's pumping in CT.

I think if you set the attached image to show wind gusts, it turns pink for Paarl and Stellenbosch. So should be very gusty even if the prevailing wind is not too hectic.
