Hazards

Strong currents and undertow common in ocean conditions; always check conditions with localsOccasional fishing nets and debris in the water; scout launch area before ridingShallow sandbars and rocky outcrops near shore; know your exit points

Launch notes

The flat ocean waters make for ideal beginner progression; launch from sandy beach with consistent SSE-SW winds providing reliable conditions year-round.

Gear & clothing

Gear · 11-knot average winds suit 14-17m kites for beginners; use directional or twin-tip boards designed for flat water and smooth progression.

Clothing · Water temperature stays warm (24-26°C) year-round; a thin 2-3mm spring suit or rash guard provides sun protection without excess neoprene.

Crowd & etiquette

Respect local fishing operations and avoid launching during peak fishing hours; communicate with other kiters regarding wind patterns and space.

Additional notes

May-November is prime season with most consistent winds; arrive early morning for best flat water conditions before afternoon thermal effects build.
