Weather: the tropical marine climate assures warm and sunny weather year round, typically humid with frequent showers. Average temperatures range between 22°C (71°F) and 27°C (81°F). Coolest months (Winter) are from November through January, and warmest from March through May.
The water is about 28°C, so you can ride in boardshorts most time of the year.
Wind: Trade windsi blow in winter from E to W about 50% of days with an average strenght of 12-25 knots. Spring (April, May) wind tapers off to start reinforcing again during late spring and summer thanks to the North Atlantic high that generates steady trade windsi 12-18 knots.
