The flat water conditions make launching straightforward, though you'll want to scout the sand and shallow areas before entering. NW and SE winds are most reliable; launch from the northern beach section during SE winds to avoid crowded areas.

Gear & clothing

Gear · Bring 14-17m kites to maximize light wind days (avg 11.5 kts); a twin-tip or beginner-friendly board is ideal for flat water progression. Consider a smaller 12m kite for stronger wind days when SE/NW winds peak.

Clothing · A 3/2mm wetsuit works year-round in this Mediterranean climate, though summer sessions may only require boardshorts. Winter months (Nov-Feb) may require a 4/3mm suit, especially during early morning sessions.

Crowd & etiquette

Respect swimmers and other water sports users during summer months, and stay aware of designated swimming zones. Follow local right-of-way rules and communicate with other kiters to avoid tangled lines in busy periods.
