Launch notes
The flat water and sandy bottom make this ideal for beginners; launch from the beach with winds from S, NNW, or NW for clean offshore/cross-shore conditions. Be mindful of the shallow sand bar when heading out.
Gear & clothing
Gear · Bring 14-17m kites to maximize light wind days (avg 10.6 kts); a directional or hybrid board works best for flat water progression. Consider a smaller kite for windy days when conditions exceed 15 kts.
Clothing · A 3/2mm wetsuit is suitable for May-June; water temperatures range 16-20°C. Bring a rash guard for sun protection during extended sessions.
Crowd & etiquette
Respect the beginner-friendly designation by staying organized in designated zones and yielding to less experienced riders. Follow local launch/land procedures to avoid congestion during peak windy days.
Additional notes
Check local wind reports before traveling as 10.6kt average requires optimal conditions; summer months offer the best consistency with 89 windy days annually. The 2nd sand bar offers a natural progression zone between shallow and deeper water.
