Hawaii can be like that too... persistently windy and never really feels uncomfortably hot. Same northeasterly trade winds that Aruba experiences. Except Aruba is mostly flat so there is nothing to break up the wind. In Hawaii there are tall mountain peaks on every island so there are usually some wind protected areas.
I’ve heard about the relentless wind in Aruba. The aridity and barrenness of the island is pretty interesting, along with the Guajira Peninsula in Colombia and neighboring areas. Not totally sure why, but it could be rainshadowing from the nearby Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta.
Washington’s coastal glaciated mountain range is cool… but Colombia has one in the deep tropics!
