Typical, not a forecast. Reanalysis wind misses some local thermal winds, so a spot known for an afternoon breeze may do better than this.

About Kitesurf Corn Island

Known for kitesurfing, by the OpenStreetMap map of the area. The shore faces E, so wind from the W blows out to sea (our estimate from the coastline).

Water about 29°C: no wetsuit. Typical sea temperature for the time of year, not a forecast.

A spot for kitesurfing, as OpenStreetMap maps it, on a shore facing E. Wind from the E blows onshore, wind from the W blows out to sea, and wind from the S or N runs along the shore. It is exposed to the open sea. The sea is about 28°C in January, its coldest month (no wetsuit), and 30°C in October, its warmest (no wetsuit). For kitesurfing at intermediate level the best months are usually January, February, July and December, with about 4 good days in 7; in September and October, about 0. From the weather of past years. No town nearby. Nearest beds: Carib Town, 1 km (about 5 min by car). Nearest airport: Bluefields Airport (BEF), 93 km.
