Interesting, I understand La Parguera works because of trade winds, substantially augmented by thermals like Cabarete. I didn't know the trades turned off or become unreliable in the cooler months there. The Christmas Winds make for nice conditions in a lot of islands further down the Antilles. They bring some nice consistent winds to BVI to the east unlike the more fitful summer conditions there. I thought Shacks goes off in the winter months, or is that just for waves with poorer wind prospects? I imagine the north coast goes off as you say around San Juan with frontal activity maybe even augmenting things with the orographic winds the NE coast is known for.
