They say it is a cycle of 4 years of 'good wind' and this year was the first, because the 4 years before where not that good. Also they say: good wind/a good summer here means bad wind/bad summer in Tarifa, and vise versa. 2003 was a bad summer in Tarifa. So next 3 years to St.Pere Pescador and than back to Tarifa.
