Puerto Rico in early Jan

[capetonian]

We're staying at Shacks. The forecast has improved.

Usually 2-10 mph stronger on the NNW corner than San Juan.
Wind accelerates over warm island compared to cool sea.
Spring is normally the windiest time.

Was an epic trip. Sailed every day except last day. Mid week was large swell. Either side was more manageable swell.

Another quickie trip to PR for the FWPR Wind Warriors wave riding contest. Sailed a new spot on the north shore where wind always seems a few knots stronger than San Juan. Was 5.2 and 5.5 wind for me the 2 days before the contest and then 6.3 wind the day of the contest (I’m 190 lbs). The winner and second place were both riding 4.7 but they are both probably 150 lbs.

I am planning to windsurf in PR in Jan 2022, I'll try your spots, thanks for sharing! I hope the wind will be there...

Here now, rain on and off for 2 weeks, wind moderate gusting to 20, moderate swell.
Jet lag is fun.
At San Juan, heading E to Fajardo in 2 days.

More rain showers, gusts to easy 30, but 5 minutes later, less than 10...really goofy. Swell 3-5, lots of kiters at Ocean Park, a couple of wave sailors out on the reef at Punta Las Marias.

Very interesting.
