The wind season is from January to June, after that the sea is so warm there is no sea breeze. It is always onshore but sometimes swings to the west a little. The wind is always from sea breezes and is from 5-20mph, but can also reach 30mph. Usually starts around 12-1pm and on a good day continues until sunset 7-8pm. Bad day never really gets up to speed and starts to die around 10mph at 4.00pm. It's possible to get out 3-4 days a week easily in the wind season.
