During the peak summer season from May to September the wind is incredibly consistent almost all day long. However the absolute best time for photography is late afternoon between 4:00 PM and 5:30 PM.
At this time the harsh midday glare disappears and the setting sun casts a brilliant golden hue across the lagoon creating perfect dynamic lighting to capture the colorful kites against the water.
Make sure you position yourself on the eastern edge of the lagoon looking west so the riders are perfectly illuminated by the setting sun rather than being backlit into silhouettes.
