Launch notes

Flat water allows easy launching and learning, ideal for beginners. Soft beach access with variable wind directions means you'll need to scout wind patterns before committing to a session.

Gear & clothing

Gear · Pack 14-17m kites to handle the moderate average wind (9.4 kts); bring multiple kites since seasonal wind consistency varies. Use freestyle or all-around twin-tip boards suited for flat water learning.

Clothing · Wear 4/3mm or 5/4mm wetsuits April-May and September-November; use thinner suits only in June-August. Water temperatures range from 8°C in winter to 20°C in summer.

Crowd & etiquette

As a developing spot with light crowds, respect any local fishermen or recreational swimmers. Maintain safe distance from other water users and communicate your intentions clearly.

Additional notes

Best wind occurs in spring/fall; summer months can be light and inconsistent. Check local weather forecasts carefully as continental climate patterns can shift rapidly, especially during shoulder seasons.
