Summer has the strongest and most consistant wind. In winter it has more than 60% over 4 Bft. Any wind direction is possible in the lagoon. Mainly NE trade windsi. At this beach the wind gets excelerated and is stronger as on the ocean side. All directions work. Windy all year round but windiest July and August. Kiteable in all directions, constant winds 15-30 kts.

Weather: You're in the desert: sunny and warm all year, but can be pretty chilled at night.
