What the season feels like
The classic window runs from July to January, with the steadiest wind from August through December. Trades build through the morning and usually hold all afternoon. The sea in front of the village mixes chop, small waves, and shallow areas that change sharply with the tide; low water smooths some sandbank sections but also exposes obstacles. The beach is broad, though the school zone can get busy at peak season. Check the tide and do not cross channels without local guidance.
