Windy Season nov to june

Nov to march is called (TEMPORADA DE NORTES) winds are affected by north fronts coming from north america … , winds from the north can be strong (35+kts) and cold (3/4 full wetsuit suggested). especially the first 2 days , first wind come from N-W , than from the NORTH then switch clockwise ..N-E, EAST, S-E, and losing usually power and getting warmer , until another north comes in.
Normally nice warm south-east wind blows the days before before the north comes. we normally use 8mt ,12mt, 15mt kites for average 70 kg rider

During wimter oct to march some days temp can go down to 12 grades celcius with north winds and winds from 12 to 30 kts but can be strong as 45 kts s

When south east temp can be from 18 to 27 and wind 12 to 25 and up to 30 kts with gust some days

Important:
STING RAYS are often around, if you get stung you need to submerge your foot in very hot water to neutralize the poison of the protein injected , for about one hour. Is very painful but usually pain disappear after one-two hours.

SCORPIONS there are scorpions around as in all mexico, the one in this area are not very dangerous the stung just is little painful and can produce cotton-mouth and light buzzy effects

SNAKES we have few around but they are mostly boa they are harmful.

CROCODILES lives in remote areas of the lagoon, be sure not to end up far away downwind when off-shore , in many years we didn t see many

MOSQUITOS at sunset they can be very annoying, during the day if there is now wind we can have no-see-hum, tiny mosquitos.

TRAFFIC POLICE they are hiding to get you speeding the limit, be careful
