Your main problem is that $current.windSpeed.beaufort returns a number, not
a string. So, you want
#if $varExists('day.windSpeed') and $current.windSpeed.raw is not None
#if $current.windSpeed.beaufort == 0
#set $word_current_beaufort = 'Calm'
#elif $current.windSpeed.beaufort == 1
#set $word_current_beaufort = 'Light Air'
...
#else
#set $word_current_beaufort = 'N/A'
#end if
You should be able to do $current.windGust.beaufort as well. However,
oceanographically, Beaufort's observations are related to the steady wind
speed, not gusts, so the results cannot be related to sea state through his
table.
