Launch notes

Beach launch is straightforward with consistent NNE/N winds, but choppy water demands careful entry timing. Watch for gusty conditions near shore and use a gradual water entry strategy.

Gear & clothing

Gear · Bring 14-17m kites to handle the average 15.2kt winds and choppy chop; a directional or twin-tip board works best for these conditions. Consider a larger quiver since wind is consistent but variable.

Clothing · Water temperatures are cool year-round (12-16°C); wear a 4/3mm wetsuit minimum with booties for rocky areas. Winter months require thicker protection despite consistent wind.

Crowd & etiquette

This is a relatively uncrowded spot; respect any local fishermen and avoid their nets. Keep a safe distance from other water users and launch/land away from swimmers if present.

Additional notes
