From spring to fall the thermal wind out of South starts in the morning and is getting stronger during the day. During winter a strong, gusty wind (Poniente) blows from North. Usually a popular beach on a good day, most people go down in the afternoon for the sea breeze. Best wind is the SW (Lebeche); strong and consistent. Also works well with the E and NE wind as it accelarates against the hills. Could be gusty.
