Summer wind is usually light, fickle and southerly. Not much more than a sea breeze so huge kites are a necessity. Better go diving in summer. Winter rocks, northerly wind regularly blows and can reach 30 knots. Wind feels denser too. This is definitely the best time, starts off around mid October and carries on through March usually.
