The wind is very gusty, and mostly light, with a lot of lulls. The wind normally varies from 4-14 knots. But some good sessions can be had once in a while. The wind 99% of the time comes from the same direction, a thermal is formed from the cold water, and warmer land behind the mountains. Very windy season, from about February to May. There are occasional cold fronts which bring very strong winds, but these are hit and miss.

From Mexico City, drive to Toluca, then follow the signs to Valle de Bravo. It is about a two hour drive.

Rules:

None

Careful with boaters, sailboats, kayakers, etc. There are a lot of things to do, mountain biking, sailing, windsurfing, water skiing, kayaking, hiking, shopping, eating, paragliding (one of the best spots in Mexico), etc. Very nice little old style town, surrounded by mountains, very beautiful.

Nightlife is very fun in the town, disco `La Pachanga` is the best.
