Hi,

No, the winds are not that high generally. I would call it a breeze here in Benidorm at around 4 to 7 kph at this time of year. It can get exceptionally windy to gale force in the worse winter months though that can last several days.

Thanks again Steve, that is better news and I appreciate the time you have taken to answer my additional questions.

We live further down the coast but only 10 minutes drive from the sea. We know without looking at our watches when it’s afternoon, because the wind starts to blow. It does generally drop off evening time.

The only time it doesn’t get windy is August, which is when you long for a nice breeze.

Hi Graham, thanks for the info afternoon breezes sound all ok, know exactly what you mean re: when it’s hottest it would be nice to have a cooling breeze and this is when it doesn’t blow. All sounds good though, many thanks again all very help
