Great winds from spring to autumn. Summer has the most windy days. From October to April can be good can be bad. But normally you will have windy days at each trip. Winds can be anything, normally gets stronger before noon and drops in the afternoon. The wind is always stronger than the forecast, but if at least a norther wind with at least 2-3 Bft is forecasted, then you get enough to have fun. Since it is a bay, you have at the east and west coast sideshore winds. 25-30 knots every day in summer from 10 to 4 pm then 15 knots till 6 pm.
