Wind details:
Cyclone Season between January and March. Generally the wind blows between 15-22 knots either from the SE or the NE. Depending on which island you go to you can choose between sideshore, onshore and offshore. Don't go and kite in the wet season - not much wind and sometimes typhoons, best time of the year to go from August through to March.
On the water
Water quality:
crystalline
Best tide:
rising
Water details:
Big tide difference when the tides are spring - but this is also good as low tide creates over 30 km of sand bars that are knee to waist deep between the islands and main land. If you have a boat - recommended - you can choose between waves, flat water like butter smooth as well as onshore, crosshore, offshore. Beware when the tide turns, do not go into the channels you will be washed out to sea! Crystal clear, awesome. Lots of sea life.When is flat
