Nobody else publishes this. We do, because it is the single fact that most decides whether your trip works.

Wet season. Teaching runs on trainer kites and light-wind gear; some days do not blow at all.

The quietest month for wind. Good for foiling, thin for beginners.

Wind starts to return late in the month. Bookings are easy to get.

The shoulder. Workable for lessons most days, and much quieter than June.

The season opens. Consistent afternoon wind and the lagoon is not yet busy.

Prime. The south-east trades set in and blow most afternoons.

July18–30 knotsPrime

The strongest and most reliable month. Book well ahead.

As strong as July and the busiest on the water. Early sessions are calmer.

Still good, noticeably less crowded. Many people's favourite month.

The trades ease off. Lessons still run most days.

November9–15 knotsLight

Light and increasingly wet. Foil weather rather than beginner weather.
