Sailing weather Cape Verde
Due to their longitude, the islands are under the influence of the NE trade wind all year round. The wind speed is therefore between 4 and 6 Bft. depending on the time of year. Nevertheless, there is no danger of hurricanes. The pleasant water temperatures of between 21°C and 27°C are ideal for swimming.
