Why Riders Love It
Best winds in November to May (winter). Use anything from a 9-18sqm kite, but mostly a 12m. Winter and most of the summer the wind comes from the North. Towards February and March we get the odd southern winds, which are normally good. Do get the odd windy weekend in the summer, but nothing major. Better to travel North during the summer months.
When to Go
Water is actually warm all year round. Winter makes it chilly and a shorty or full suit will do, depending on your tough guy status.
What to Expect
The water is choppy and fairly clean. The tide has minimal influence and mostly the waves, that do roll into the bay, are small. Typhoons can cause HAVOCK and the waves can get big.
