Wind & conditions

The Cape Doctor (southeaster) dominates summer — strong, gusty, and often building through the day. Water is cool; wind is nuclear on the best days, so small kites and conservative sizing matter.

What to expect

  • Prime wind roughly Nov–Mar; expect punchy gusts near the mountain shadow
  • Big-air conditions are common — leave margin for gusts
  • Air temps mild but sea is cold — a wetsuit is standard
Rules & hazards

Rules & etiquette

  • Stay clear of swimmers and surf craft in shared zones
  • Don’t launch/land in traffic — use wide, clear stretches of sand

Hazards

  • Strong shorebreak and rip currents on big days
  • Gusty wind near buildings and dunes — sudden power spikes

Beach rules differ by stretch — if unsure, ask locals before pumping up.
