During spring, autumn and summer: thermals 15-20 knots. During the winter storms: 20-35 knots. It's not windy everyday. During the winter about 25 days and during the other time of the year, about wind twice a week. Its geographical setup of mountains touching the beach creates superb conditions of 25 knots of side offshore to sideshore winds.
