Hazards

Rocks and shallow reefs near shore - scout the launch area carefully before enteringVariable wind strength due to coastal terrain effects - watch for sudden gusts from westerly directionsOccasional fishing activity and small boats in the area - maintain awareness and stay clear

Launch notes

Flat water conditions make this ideal for beginners, but wind consistency is moderate at 9.5 kts average. Launch during westerly winds (W, WSW, WNW) for most stable conditions; eastern winds may be gusty and less predictable.

Gear & clothing

Gear · Bring a 14-17m kite for the light average winds; a 12m kite is useful for stronger days. A directional or hybrid board works well in flat water while building skills.

Clothing · A 3/2mm wetsuit is suitable for spring months (March-April) when water temperatures are cool but not cold. Summer visits may allow thinner suits or rash guards.

Crowd & etiquette

Keep communication open with other kiters in the relatively small beach area and respect the local fishing community. Stay clear of designated swimming areas if present and follow any local beach regulations.

Additional notes

March and April offer the best wind window with the most consistent conditions; visit early morning for typically steadier winds. Check local weather forecasts carefully as wind can be unreliable outside peak season.
