Why Riders Love It
The best time of year to go for wind is between September and December. The SE trade winds blow nonstop during this time. Wind strength averages between 15-25 knots.
When to Go
The island sits on the edge of the tropics, and the weather varies little, with mild, spring-like conditions for most of the year, tempered by the ocean. The biggest variation is from mid-November to mid-April, when it is warm and humid, as opposed to 'winter', from July to August, which is spring-like. Average maximum temperatures vary from 22°C to 28°C (71°F to 82°F). The cyclone season runs from December to March, but woolly weather can show up for a month on either side of that. Generally, though, the seasons alter little, and even the number of daylight hours is stable, from 6 am to 6 pm year-round.
What to Expect
Crystal clear water. One small bridge in the water further north. Corals around the point. Rocks to the southwest. Be careful at low tide.
