The windiest time in Fuerte is in the summer when a big high pressure sits over the Atlantic and a low over the Sahara. In sotavento a double acceleration is caused by the trade winds being funnelled through the mountains to create significantly stronger winds than the north.
The swells which bring the best waves are caused by depressions in the Atlantic which are more prevalent in winter.
