Launch notes

The flat water and open beach make for easy launching in most conditions. Best launch with SW to W winds; avoid launching during strong onshore S/ENE winds that can create choppy conditions.

Gear & clothing

Gear · Use 14-17m kites for the moderate 13.6kt average winds; a freestyle or all-around board works well in flat water. Consider a larger kite as backup for lighter wind days.

Clothing · Wear a 5/4mm wetsuit year-round; water temperatures stay cold even in summer (12-15°C). Add a hood during winter months (Dec-Feb) for extra protection.

Crowd & etiquette

Respect local kite zones and share the water with other water sports enthusiasts common to Channel Islands beaches. Check local regulations as some areas may have restrictions on peak tourist season.

Additional notes

Plan sessions around tidal windows as they significantly affect water depth and launch conditions. Check local wind forecasts regularly as the Channel Islands can experience rapid weather changes due to Atlantic weather systems.
