Wind is sideshore from about noon and normally 25-30 knots. The season is from May to September very dependable wind. Great place with loads of wind. Bring small kites as winds can be up to 40 knts. Of course there have been times there is lighter wind too but not the norm. You still can go surf when there is no wind.
