Is very hot, only in December to February the wind is cold but the water is OK, you need wetsuit only in these months. Surfing possible all year, but the best season is March to July because the sea is not crazy (many waves) when the wind is from Southeast. The water is warm all the time, sometimes cool, over 15°C.
