It is sheltered to the open sea. The sea is about 27°C in January, its coldest month (no wetsuit), and 30°C in September, its warmest (no wetsuit). For sailing at intermediate level the best months are usually May, June and July, with about 7 good days in 7; in September, about 5. From the weather of past years.
