Launch notes
The flat water bay offers excellent launching conditions for beginners, with sandy beach access and consistent northerly winds. Tidal flats require awareness of water depth changes throughout the day.
Gear & clothing
Gear · Bring 14-17m kites for the light average winds (11.2 kts); larger quiver sizes maximize session time. Flat-water twin-tips or directional boards are ideal for the smooth bay conditions.
Clothing · A 3mm or 2mm spring suit works well during peak months (March-April) with water temperatures around 75-80°F. Consider a rash guard in shoulder seasons for sun protection.
Crowd & etiquette
Respect local fishermen and their nets, stay clear of anchored boats, and maintain proper spacing with other kiters in the narrow bay. Local guides recommend staying in designated kiting zones during peak seasons.
Additional notes
March and April offer the most consistent winds; plan trips during these windows for best conditions. Check tide tables before launching, as shallow zones can become impassable at low tide.
