Hazards

Shallow flat water with potential sandbars and sudden depth changes requiring careful navigationOccasional strong thermal winds that can gust unexpectedly in afternoon sessionsBoat traffic and jet skis in designated water zones near popular beachesHigh water temperatures in summer months increase sun exposure risk

Launch notes

Launch from the sandy beach on northwesterly to northerly wind days for optimal flat-water conditions. Avoid launching during midday when thermal effects create gusty, unpredictable wind patterns.

Gear & clothing

Gear · Bring 14-17m kites to maximize the moderate 11.4kt average winds typical of this spot. A freestyle or wave board works well in the flat, protected water conditions.

Clothing · A 2-3mm rashguard or light wetsuit is sufficient year-round; summer months (May-August) require only boardshorts plus UV protection due to intense sun and warm 30°C+ water.

Crowd & etiquette

Respect designated kite zones and stay clear of swimming areas; give way to other water sports users and follow local beach regulations strictly.

Additional notes

The best wind window occurs during winter months (December-March) and early summer; check local wind forecasts as thermal effects dominate afternoon sessions. Respect private beach sections and always verify access permissions before launching.
