Climate Detail
UV index 11 — extreme. Sun protection discipline is essential, especially for children spending full days in the bay. July sunshine averages over 10 hours per day — one of the longest solar days of the year. The trade winds are at their summer strength, which means the marina and open water outside the bay are reliably windy and excellent for sailing. Sea temperature at 22°C is warm and genuinely comfortable for extended swimming, snorkelling, and water sports. The protected bay design means wave action is minimal — families can spend full days in the water without concern about surf or currents.
