GEOGRAPHY

Situated 500km off the most westerly tip of Senegal (West Africa), the Republic of Cape Verde comprises nine inhabited islands and several uninhabited. Lying in the middle of the Atlantic, just above the equator the islands attract gentle trade winds that make the conditions ideal for windsurfing, kitesurfing and other watersports, and provide a cooling breeze for sun-worshipers.

CLIMATE


The temperature rarely falls below 25C and never rises above 35C. On many of the islands it barely rains, and if it does, half the year’s rainfall can fall in a single storm.

Lying in the trade winds belt, with a gentle Atlantic swell, wind conditions are perfect for sailing, kiting, windsurfing and surfing.
