Why Riders Love It

Wind is 4-6 Bft, trade winds, sometimes gusty. The season is November to April. The wind from the NE accelerates over the land and gives a gusty but kiteable cross off. Beware, it is cross off with no rescue, but there is enough cross within the bay to have the far point still downwind of you for most of your reach. A great beach when the forecast is light.

📅

When to Go

Sunny weather. Average temperatures: December to February: water 22°C, air 21°C. March to May: water 23°C, air 22°C. June to August: water 27°C, air 26°C. September to November: water 26°C, air 25°C. Winter, shorty or 3mm top is all that is needed.
