Launch notes
Soft sand beach launch is ideal; best entry during mid-rising tide to avoid sandbars. East to northeast winds provide the most consistent and direct offshore flow for this location.
Gear & clothing
Gear · 10-13m kites suit the 9.6kt average; bring a 12m as your primary. A directional or twin-tip board handles the choppy water well; consider a wider board for better float in moderate winds.
Clothing · Spring through fall requires 2mm or springsuit; winter months (Dec-Feb) warrant 3mm wetsuits as water temps drop to 70-72°F. Summer can be tackled in board shorts or thin rashguard.
Crowd & etiquette
Share the break with swimmers and respect designated swimming areas; communicate with other kiters in the choppy conditions. Watch for local boat traffic and maintain distance from non-water sports users.
Additional notes
March through May offers the most consistent and strongest wind window; avoid summer doldrums (June-Aug). Check tide tables and local weather forecasts, as afternoon sea breezes can create thermal effects changing wind patterns.
