Hazards

Shallow flat water with potential underwater obstacles and sandbars near shoreTropical storms and typhoons during peak season require weather monitoringBoat traffic and fishing activity in the areaStrong currents during tidal changes in coastal waters

Launch notes

Flat water conditions are ideal for beginners; launch from the sandy beach in NE to ENE winds. Check tide schedules as shallow areas can vary.

Gear & clothing

Gear · Use 14-17m kites given the average 11.3 knot winds; a directional or twin-tip board works well in flat water conditions. Bring a quiver as wind can be variable.

Clothing · A 2-3mm wetsuit is suitable for the warm subtropical climate; summer months may require only a rash guard. Winter months (Nov-Dec) are more comfortable.

Crowd & etiquette

Respect local fishing activities and boat traffic; coordinate with other kiters during crowded conditions. Follow any local regulations regarding beach usage.

Additional notes

Best sessions occur November-October with consistent NE trade winds; the 75 windy days annually concentrate in these months. Plan trips accordingly and check local typhoon forecasts during shoulder seasons.
