La Ventana in August
Mostly for fishing and orcas; a good month to book your winter.
August in La Ventana is hot and still, with no kiting wind. It is the orca peak and the height of the summer fishing: dorado, marlin and tuna. Hurricane season peaks from August to October, many places are closed until October, and it is the month the winter gets decided: a good time to book your house.
