Wind Season.
Kaskazi
December - March
The Kaskazi wind season is side shore and consistent. This consistency has been relied on for centuries being the main trade route for east Africa, the Middle East and China.
The ‘kaskazi’ (north in Swahili) blows down from the monsoon in India. The Kaskazi wind is warm and solid and is very reliable. It blows from December to the end of March. Like clockwork it turns on around noon and turns off at sunset. It is about 17-20 knots on average and has flatter conditions so you can be on your 12 (or bigger) all day.

The reef parallel to the beach is an endless wave-riding playground.
