Wind:

wind season from July to November more or less, during the winter and spring, when its dry, that's when you will find winds ranging from 17 to 30 knots. But this doesn't mean it will not be windy the rest of the year. If you are coming during our summer or fall, give yourself some extra time, as you can come during a rainy week and you might have to wait for the wind to arrive. Bring big kites for this time of the year 16m or more as the wind will average between 10 to 15 knots.

Weather:
temperature goes from 16 to 35 °C more or less. Water is always warm, no wetsuit needed, only in winter if you are used to hotter places.
