Amenities

Basic local accommodation in nearby townsLimited commercial kitesurfing infrastructure; self-sufficiency recommended

Hazards

Shallow flat water with potential underwater obstacles and debrisVariable wind conditions with frequent lulls averaging only 9.1 knotsLimited visibility into wind patterns due to surrounding terrain affecting thermal winds

Launch notes

Flat water makes for easy launches and landings, ideal for beginners. NE and SSW winds are most consistent; launch from protected areas when winds are light.

Gear & clothing

Gear · Use larger kites (15-17m) to maximize light wind potential with average 9.1 knots. A directional or twin-tip board works well in flat water conditions.

Clothing · Spring/autumn sessions require 3-4mm wetsuits; winter months may need 5mm. Summer riding allows for rash guards or lighter protection.

Crowd & etiquette

Respect local fishing activities and water traffic common in reservoir areas. Give right-of-way to slower craft and avoid crowded zones during peak hours.

Additional notes

Plan sessions around the best wind months (April-June, September, December-February) when conditions are most favorable. Check local weather patterns carefully due to variable wind and limited windy days annually.
