Wind/Weather |
---|
Tropical and warm weather all year, which allows kiting without a wet suit. The Kaskazi (mid Dec - mid Mar) offers a very reliable NE trade wind with 15-20 knots almost every day, on stronger days even up to 25 knots. April is very hot and humid before the rains start in May. Wind is blowing from the S, not very reliable and sometimes very gusty and slightly off shore. During the month of May the center remains closed. From June the weather starts clearing and the Kuzi season starts blowing a S/SE trade wind with 18-22 knots, on stronger days up to 30 knots. Bis swells rolling in and great surf on the reef. The season lasts until mid September. Wind can be a little gusty sometimes with rain storms passing through. October & November almost no wind, calm ocean ideal for SUP and diving. |
