All year warm weather for sailing and surfing
Lying in the Trade Winds belt, with a gentle Atlantic swell, Cape Verde conditions are perfect for sailing or surfing. Cape Verde winter winds are steady Force 4 to Force 5, but slacken in summer. National teams come to Sal, Cape Verdes for winter wind and kite surf training. Board surfing conditions in winter are excellent and Ponta Preta on Sal, Cape Verdes has one of the best breaks in the world. Sea temperatures are warm enough to make swimming a real pleasure. And you neither need to heat the swimming pool nor air-condition the villa, thanks to their clever architectural design which encourages airflow through the venturi effect.
Water supply
Water is scarce and expensive, so golf will always be a difficult game to find in the islands. Some swimming pools are fed with salt water. There are desalination plants on the islands of Sal, Boavista, Santiago(Praia) and there is one under construction on the Island of Santo Antao (Porto Novo)
