Launch notes

The flat water and sandy beach provide ideal launching conditions for beginners. SW and SSW winds are most consistent; launch from the southern section of beach during morning sessions to avoid afternoon thermal shifts.

Gear & clothing

Gear · A 15-17m kite is ideal for the 12.8kt average wind. A directional or hybrid board works best in the flat water, allowing beginners to focus on technique without dealing with chop.

Clothing · A light 2-3mm wetsuit or rash guard provides sun protection and minimal thermal protection during hot season (Jun-Jul). Quick-dry shorts and water shoes recommended for rocky areas.

Crowd & etiquette

Respect local fishing activities and avoid launching near active nets. Check tide times before sessions as shallow water channels shift throughout the day.

Additional notes

June and July bring consistent SW monsoon winds but also heavy rainfall; plan sessions early in the day. The beach can get crowded with locals on weekends, so mid-week sessions offer better conditions and fewer obstacles.
