Hazards

Shallow flat water with potential rocks and uneven bottom near shoreAtlantic swell and occasional chop during winter stormsVariable wind patterns common to Galician coast requiring constant attentionTidal range affecting water depth and launch conditions

Launch notes

Flat water conditions make this ideal for beginners; launch from the beach with SW and S winds being most reliable. Check tide times as shallow areas can become very narrow at low water.

Gear & clothing

Gear · 12-15m kites are ideal for the average 10.4kt winds; consider a 17m for lighter days. A directional board or beginner twin-tip works well in the flat water conditions.

Clothing · 3/2mm wetsuit for winter months (Nov-Mar) and 2/2mm for summer; water temperatures range from 10°C in winter to 15°C in summer. Spring and fall require transition suits depending on exact dates.

Crowd & etiquette

Respect other water users and follow local beach regulations; stay aware of swimmers and fishing activity common in this area. Keep upwind of other riders to avoid entanglement.

Additional notes

Best wind window opens in early afternoon as thermals develop; plan sessions around tidal cycles for optimal water depth. Winter months (Jan-Mar) offer the most consistent windy days along this Atlantic coast.
