Silly me. You need a .raw suffix:
#if $varExists('day.windSpeed') and $current.windSpeed.raw is not None
#if $current.windSpeed.beaufort.raw == 0
#set $word_current_beaufort = 'Calm'
#elif $current.windSpeed.beaufort.raw == 1
#set $word_current_beaufort = 'Light Air'
...
#else
#set $word_current_beaufort = 'N/A'
#end if
