Summer is nice and warm. High season a shorty is ok, a few weeks with just shorts is possible. Usually a wetsuit is always needed. Water max 22°C in summer, normally around 15°C. Winter gets cold, but a thick wetsuit, gloves, mask and shoes make kiting almost year-round possible. Air: summer between 20-30°C, spring and fall around 15°C.

Zones |
Getting there is very expensive. The boat will charge you for luggage, gear and boards. Try to stay out of the Nature Park.
The island got a pub and a few bars but no clubs, so if you want to relax and have a good time without party or stress, it's a nice place.
