Time of year

The wind is reliable (9 out of 10 days) from mid-April through the end of September with the strongest winds around the first of June. Outside of these dates the wind tends to blow two out every four days.


The last half of April the water will be about 52 deg. It is comfortable with a warm wetsuit if the sun is shining, but 2 and 1/2 hours is about as long as you want to be in the water.

May 1st the water hits 57 deg. and it is ok in a warm wetsuit for the full three hours.

May 15th the water hits 62 deg. and a warm wetsuit keeps you warm for the full three hours.

The first of June the water temp is around 68 deg. and no longer an issue with a wetsuit with short arms.

The first of September the water will be near 78 deg.

The first of October the water will be near 70 deg.
