But that does not mean the rest of the year couldn't be as good or even better. During the hurricane season which starts 1st of June all the way through to November all sorts of conditions are possible. The trades usually blow at a moderate windspeed of 12-25 knots. The wind force hardly changes at all on most days. Normally, the wind blows sideshore from the left, with a slight offshore tendency in winter and a slight onshore tendency in summer.

Good spot but when the wind is fluky beware as it is way too easy to drop your kite and end up floating around the corner. This can be a problem as there are plenty of locals willing to offer assistance but for a very substantial rescue fee.
