The northeast trade winds persist during this time, moderating temperatures and keeping the conditions comfortable. These winds, blowing at speeds from 10mph (16.1km/h) to 20mph (32.2km/h), also play a role in reducing the chance of rain. Ocean temperatures, slightly cooler than the land, provide a refreshing contrast and are inviting for swimmers and divers.
