Hazards

Shallow flat water can hide sandbars and sudden depth changes; scout the launch area carefullyStrong currents are common in this estuary mouth; always maintain awareness of water flow directionLimited wind consistency below 9 knots may make progression difficult on lighter days

Launch notes

The flat water and sandy beach provide ideal beginner launching conditions. Northeast to southeast winds dominate, offering consistent offshore or side-shore conditions for easy water entry.

Gear & clothing

Gear · Bring 14-17m kites to maximize light wind days (average 9.1 knots); a directional board or small wave board works well for flat water progression. Consider a larger kite size to compensate for the lower average wind speed.

Clothing · A 3/2mm wetsuit is suitable for most of the year; the water is warm in the peak season (Aug-Dec). Bring sun protection and a rash guard as tropical sun exposure is intense.

Crowd & etiquette

Respect local fishermen who work the estuary, keeping a safe distance from nets and boats. Share the flat water area courteously with other riders and avoid crowding the launch zone.

Additional notes

The 232+ windy days annually make this a reliable beginner destination with long sessions possible during peak months. Check local weather forecasts as estuary winds can be gusty; early morning sessions often offer steadier conditions.
