The main wind is E-NE all the year. Windy season starts in December (NE wind), but February is probably the best time to be there, because then the wind is guaranteed and comes from the East. Wind is lighter in December (3-5 Bft.) and gets stronger during the season. Isle a Caret is a tiny island, so practically you'll have onshore sideshore and offshore winds at the same time. Any wind direction will work.

 How to get there
Transport:
- Car
Access:
- Short Walk


East of St. Rose is a small village called Mourne Rouge. Go to the small habour and ask some of the fishermen for a transport to the island. Pay about 15 Euro per person for the crossing. It may cost more when the fisherman stays with you all day long. It is always good to have a rescue boat.
