Temperatures can range from 15 ° C to 30 ° C, and days can be blue and sunny or gray and rainy. Winds are normally light at this time of the year but the Westerly 'Pampero' might still appear, leaving behind strong shifty winds in flat choppy waters (the W, NW and SW winds come from shore). We can also have winds from the SE (known as Sudestada), that can reach +25 knots and generate big waves after blowing for several hours.
