Ringed months are the ones riders and schools name: Jan, Feb, Mar, Apr, May, Jun, Jul, Aug, Dec.
Nothing has been measured or modelled for this place: twelve months and no figure in any of them. The months riders name are all there is.
riders' months
Riders and schools name these months. The model reads lower here, and both are shown rather than averaged.
Wind on the beach
What the spot record warns about
- Offshore wind: riders who cannot hold ground may drift away from shore and need boat rescue.
- Gusty/wind-shadowed air close to the beach from land obstacles.
- Reef, sea grass, coral, pebbles/stones and very shallow patches; booties are recommended by rider reports for walking in/out.
- Crowded mixed-use water with windsurfers, kite students, swimmers, boats and schools near Palm Beach/Hadicurari.
- Sea turtle nesting is reported north of the launch zone (2026, unconfirmed on the ground).
- Do not jump over boats/people; maintain distance from students and other riders.
