Coche Wind Update....Well, Yeli says it was a strange weather week there in Coche.....started off with a few days of light wind..OK for big sails...6.7, 7.2. The next day they had strong but stormy winds...dropping off late afternoon. 9th, 10th and 11th....NO WIND!! OUCH. Crazy wind pattern for this time of year. And then the past few days....clear, sunny....sort of cool with light winds and big sails. Today, Monday, looks much better.......See ya all next week......T-Freak, Yeli & Marko
 

Hello out there.....Here is your weekly wind update as reported by Yeli & Marko in Coche....They had a great week there as we did in Margi. Yeli said that it was very windy all week. Sun, Mon, Tues & Wed.....Guys on 5.0's & 5.4's...maybe bigger guys up to 5.8. SUNNY..and Beautiful. Thurs even more stable. Yeli also mentioned that on Friday, it was a bit cloudy in the AM, but cleared mid day for some good sailing...but on slightly larger sails (6.2 up to 7.2). .....Also had quite a few Margi clients heading to Coche during the week. Bill had so much fun on Thurs that he and his wife had to return on Friday...COOL.....That flat water blasting is AMAZING!!! Jeff, Missy and their sons Josh & Ian went over yesterday for a 'combo' day. The guys are just getting into windsurfing....sailing just an hour or so...here and their....their real passion is tennis.....PERFECT!! Jeff and Missy ripped it up on the water....and Marko took Josh and Ian over to the courts at Hotel Coche Speed Paradise (where the Vela station is located) so they could rip the covers off those little green fuzzy balls. Haven't seen them yet today, but heard they all had a wonderful time. Everybody wins!!...The stronger winds then returned yesterday...guys on 5.8's...gal's mostly 5.0's....All sounds good to me!!!  (Thanks to Yeli & Marko for being on these weekly updates)    .......Check back next week for more current info.     Ciao for now.    T-Freak, Marko & Yeli

Hello and greetings to all......Here is the updated wind report from Yeli & Marko in Coche....It always surprises me how different the conditions can be in Coche vs El Yaque even though Coche is only 5 or 6 miles to our south. Sometimes windier there....sometimes here. Seems like this past week we had better conditions here in 'da Yaq'. Yeli said that early in the week the winds were light but gorgeous weather over all....then they had a few 'goofy' days with some wind, then drizzle, then the sun and wind returning. She even said they had some shore break there in the bay....Very unusual.....never seen that before. Apparently the 'wind gods' took another nap for a day or so. Later in the week and through the last few days the wind returned.....Just like here. (Well, maybe not quite as strong as here) .....Also, Yeli mentioned that they are 'bracing' for the Carnival beach parties......just like we are here. Gonna be a little crazy for the next few days.....but that's OK....Great entertainment!!!...and then we'll have our beaches back to normal. .....That's it for now......check back next week for more current data.      Later....T-Freak, Yeli & Marko

Hello All.....T-Bone here with an update from Coche. Just recieved the official report from Marko & Yeli (Our Coche Center Managers) Sounds as though they've been having similar conditions as here in Margi. Yeli said that the wind was very light on the 7th and 8th but returned nicely for the next days. Like here, some rainy mornings but eventually clearing up and wind kicking in. Today we again awoke to cloudy skies, but seems to be clearing as I type. Yeli did mention that Marko (170 Lbs) was out on a 5.4 and JP 101....totally powered. The bad news is that his seshion for the most part was to 'police' the 'zone's'.....In other words...chasing the Kiters out of the windsurf area. As is the case in most places, Coche has designated a 'Windsurf Zone' separate from the 'Kite Zone'....keeps everybody happy and safe, right? (Thanks Marko)......Anyway....keep checking back as I plan to continue with Coche updates......Take care.....More Later

Same as in Margarita....
The last week as seen mornigs have been light with big sails on the water, with afternoon winds filling in a bit more to lose about sq meter of sail size. Cloudy skies in the the AM have cleared to sunny/hazy afternoons.
