Why Riders Love It
Westerly winds with depressions. Best from fall to spring. Summer lighter. Nice NE and E winds in summer, but not very often. Works in all wind directions, but winds over land are gustier. Easterlies get accelerated so if Easterlies are lighter somewhere else on the island, get to this beach.
When to Go
Summer is nice and warm. High season a shorty is ok, a few weeks with just shorts is possible. Usually a wetsuit is always needed. Water max 22°C in summer, normally around 15°C. Winter gets cold, but a thick wetsuit, gloves, mask and shoes make kiting almost year-round possible. Air: summer between 20-30°C, spring and fall around 15°C. The water is a bit warmer than in the ocean.
What to Expect
Flat to choppy water. Big shallow area for about 250m. Sandy bottom.
