Why Riders Love It
Southwest is the predominant direction. Nice winds with depressions, because there is hardly any stable wind (thermals) in summer. Fall and spring usually provides the best winds, but it can be unpredictable in storms. Winter actually has the most winds. Best directions: N, NE, SW and W.
When to Go
It can be anything at any time or season. Summer is usually nice with sun and temps of 17-25°C. But because of the sea climate there can also be rain and storms and low temps. Temps drop to beneath 10°C, and sometimes it freezes. Water temp is from 18°C in summer to as low as 6°C in winter. You almost always need a wetsuit and a thick one in winter plus hood and gloves. When the outside temp is above 12°C, which does happen in winter it can be fine though.
What to Expect
