Wind specificities: Nice wind in the mornings picking up during the day. At midday its blowing, at 15:00 its epic, at 17:00 its decreasing a bit. Gusty winds close to the beach, further out less gusty. Almost every day theres wind. Some months are 100% with more than 4Bf every day. Always sideshore from the left (East). Best time for kiting in El Yaque is from October to the end of July. During the months of February to May, wind can be very strong and a bit more gusty from midday on. Such days are perfect to explore some of the other spots around Margarita. From August to the end of September our wind gets often interrupted for one or more days by tropical depressions approaching the Caribbean.
