There are two main winds on the Garda Lake. The Peler and the Ora. The Peler comes from the north and begins already soon in the morning by 6am. It can be gusty and and achieve up to 30 knots. Around 11am the Peler eases off and the Ora comes up. So the best time to be on the water is from 2pm to 6pm. The Ora offers perfect conditions for beginners as it's a quite constant wind and achieves around 16 knots.
