Prevailing winds: The prevailing winds off Catia La Mar are the NE trades which blow with great regularity from February to June. Calms and W breezes occur frequently from July to October. Usually once or twice in autumn, Calderetas, which are hot sharp blasts from the mountains, have sufficient force to be dangerous to ships not well secured in harbour. These winds are not usually of long duration. During the hurricane season, ships should be prepared to put to sea at short notice.
