Launch notes

Flat water and sandy beach make launching straightforward in most conditions. North to northwest winds provide the most consistent thermal flow; southwest winds work well but require afternoon timing for best strength.

Gear & clothing

Gear · 15-17m kites suit the average 9.2kt wind; consider 12-14m kites for stronger spring/fall days. Directional boards or twin-tips work best for flat water cruising and progression.

Clothing · 3/2mm wetsuit recommended April-October; 2/2mm adequate November-March as water temps range 10-18°C year-round. Spring and fall require windbreaker layers.

Crowd & etiquette

Respect local fishermen and recreational swimmers, particularly during peak summer season. Keep adequate distance from other kiters in the relatively quiet flat water conditions.

Additional notes

Plan sessions for October-November when winds peak at consistent 11-13kts and conditions stabilize. Low crowd levels make this ideal for beginners practicing fundamentals in safe, predictable flat water.
