On the warmer days,  especially during the last week, the land breezes either persisted all day, or were pushed aside for a while in the afternoon by gusty southwesterly winds running parallel to the beach. On most days the wind was light or gentle, but moderate breezes occurred during the first week, and again during the last week, when the only 3 gusts exceeding 20 knots (23 mph) occurred.
