The season runs from March through November. In early and late season a 4mm wetsuit is recommended, but from May to September it’s lovely and warm. The best learning conditions start in mid-April and run right through the summer, deep into September when the water is warm and the wind is steady southwest. This is also the best time for waves. Some locals kite year-round, but most visitors find January and February unfavorable.
December and March are wildcard months, depending on the quality of the season. The wind strength peaks in the spring and fall, which could be anywhere from 15 to 35 knots, depending on the front. Summer winds are thermal and more reliable – usually around 15+ knots – so expect to be shredding regularly on your 9-12 meter kites.
