The climate
in the La Ventana area is dry and desert-like. What little
rain we receive falls in August through October. During the
winter months of December thru mid February the daytime air
temperature varies from 65 to 80 degrees F with a water temperature
of 70-75 minimum and even warmer early and late season. Most
days you will be quite comfortable with a swimsuit or shorts
and T-shirt. A sweatshirt or windbreaker is sometimes nice
for cool and windy days. Nights can sometimes be quite cool,
especially in December and January. UGG or similar fleece boots
are great to slip into after sailing. Long pants and a pile
jacket or heavy sweatshirt are good for night and early morning
lounging. The sun is intense: bring a hat and waterproof sunscreen,
preferably SPF 15 or higher if your skin is fair.
If you will be windsurfing bring your wetsuit, harness, and booties.
Many local sailors still sail
barefoot. During the months of December, January, and February
you probably want a full suit with short sleeves (3mm/2mm),especially
if you get cold easily. For early and late season sailing a shorty
or spring suit is fine. Bring gloves and a helmet if you want them for
sailing, biking, or kayaking.
