Hazards

  • A "very mega shallow reef" of sharp coral.surf-magazin.de; Kite and Windsurfing Guide

Measured wind

No exposed wind station on the northwest coast in our research. The Aguadilla station (XAGU) sits in the lee of the trade wind and reads low.

More stations and every month: when to come.
