The wind can be inconsistent in the winter, so you may find yourself only get 2 days in a week in. But during the spring, summer and fall, you can have some fantastic days and weeks. When the wind blows, it usually starts with a southerly at around 12-16 knots for the first day, two days or more of SE at 16-22 knots, then easterly for a day or two at 20-30 knots. During trade winds, the wind will be very consistent and blow about 18-25 knots.



How to get there

Transport
Boat
Access
No walk

Only accessible by boat. About 10km off the coast from Bourake. From the Bourake wharf, you can either use your own boat if you're lucky enough to have one or hitch hike on a local boat going for the traditional weekend 'islet camping' trip. Not likely on very windy days however, as locals tend to like calm weather when going boating. Or take a taxi boat. Expensive but the best bet. Book in advance with one of the companies.
