Wind: KUKULCAN (The Mayan’s God of the Wind) switches on the thermal North East winds (side on shore) to 18 – 22 knots almost every afternoon! In the winter KUKULCAN gets cold (but still very warm) and angry throwing them a storm almost every week from the North (on shore) with winds from 25 – 35 knots! Fun!!
