It is sheltered to the open sea. The sea is about 24°C in January, its coldest month (no wetsuit), and 30°C in July, its warmest (no wetsuit). For sailing at intermediate level the best month is usually April, with about 6 good days in 7; in June, August and September, about 4. From the weather of past years. The town to stay in is Nassau. Within 5 km we also list 2 wind sports spots.
