Works in WNW and North directions. Dry Season is December to June with 15-20 knot trade winds. Wet season winds are intermittent at about 10-15 knots. Trade Winds are normally out of the East. Guam is an Island so it pretty much does not matter which way the wind blows since there are multiple spots to kitesurf around the whole island.
