Beautiful, clear water. Depending on where you ride you can have shore break and waves, waves on reefs and flat water. Caution: Full moon and tides will narrow the Mayan Riviera beaches and expose jagged rocks, construction debris, rebar. Cancun has beautiful white sanded beaches. Be careful with lots of sunbathers. Cancun is an island shaped as a 7. Therefore there are basically two possibilities: NW, N and NE winds can be ridden from the northern part of the seven. NE, ENE, E, ESE, SE and S, can be ridden from the longest part of the seven but then you have to deal with the waves and the shore break which is rather big and strong. Following down through the Mayan Riviera you can ride from NE to S, and sometimes there are reefs + or - close from the beach which in some cases can produce flat water. Winds are not very constant generally and can be ridden from 7-30, been mostly 12-18 knts. This during the winter months, December to March. March to May to June, mostly SE. July to August, rather no wind and September to December, hurricane season. Always warm. No wetsuit needed, sun protection is always good to have. In winter it can get a little colder so a rash guard or shorty can be used, nut never anything thicker. Water: Flat, Chop, Smallwave. Features: Shower, Toilet, Food. Rider ability: Beginner, Intermediate, Expert.
