As it is also the case on Maurice Island , windguru doesn't take into account the venturi effect, quite important in Sakalava .Estimates are usually accurate, but conservative. Follow these guidelines to avoid carrying excess weight if you bring your own kit

A word of caution!!!!!!!! The winds are strong (25-35 knots) and constant. We advise you to achieve above average physical condition (through jogging, cycling….) before your arrival so as to be able to fully appreciate your stay
