Prone to extended periods of high pressure in summer (December to March) can be frustrating. Closer to winter regular frontal activity that brings a good breeze. Seldom fluky. Blows infrequently but when on usually can be depended on for several days at a time and to be strong. Predominantly NNW (onshore) or a bitterly cold southerly. Prevailing northwesterly is onshore and when blows, it blows hard. Expect upwards of 25 knots.
