The water is warm all year and the beaches are wide. The country is still little visited by kiters.
The season runs from November to April. The north-east wind then blows between 12 and 25 knots on the north coast.
From June to September the wind drops. A few thermal breezes remain, rather weak. Hurricane season runs from June to November.
