La Ventana in May
Yes for the sea: mobulas, orcas and a soft end to the wind.
May is the soft end of the wind season in La Ventana: 15–20 knots, with a few good afternoons a week. The water is 21–24 °C (low to mid 70s °F), and the mobula rays gather in the channel, peaking in the last two weeks of the month. Houses are easier to find than at any time in winter.
