Launch notes
Launch from the beach into flat water with NE and ENE winds being most consistent and favorable. Watch for tidal variations that can significantly affect water depth and launch conditions throughout the day.
Gear & clothing
Gear · Bring 14-17m kites for the average 7.9kt wind speed; larger kites will be essential for light wind days common throughout the year. A directional board works best for flat water, though twin-tips are popular for beginner progression.
Clothing · A 2-3mm wetsuit is sufficient during peak season (Sep-Dec); consider a rash guard for sun protection during warmer months. Water temperatures range 18-24°C depending on season, so adjust thickness accordingly.
Crowd & etiquette
Respect local kitesurfers and swimmers; stay downwind of crowded beach areas and yield to beginners learning in designated zones. Communicate with other riders when launching to avoid tangled lines in the flat water corridor.
Additional notes
Best conditions occur during spring/summer months (Sep-Dec) with consistent NE winds; plan visits around tide schedules to maximize usable flat water area. The spot's 185+ windy days annually makes it highly accessible, but lighter winds require larger kites.
