Situated in Europe, the spot offers Shallow and Flat and Chop water conditions, making it ideal for experienced riders pushing their limits.

Why Riders Love It
The best direction for this spot is S-SSW. This is also a dominating direction during summer. If the winds shift past WSW or SE, the winds become gusty or sometimes on/off every minute or so. NW is possible but generally too gusty for kitesurfing. In general the wind is a bit weaker and rarer here compared to further offshore.
When to Go
During summer use a thin wetsuit. Kiting is possible from March through December, but you might need the thickest suits during winter.
What to Expect
Mostly flat with the chop building up with the wind, as the beach is unprotected. No waves. Kiting is in front of the launching area, towards the bridge and the areas to the west of this line.
