Many windsurfers and beachgoers, be careful. The wind is coming from South, it's the best for kiting. The small island in front of the beach may cause some turbulences, be aware. Wind from 10-30 knots. The season of thermal wind stars in March/April till October. No one is kitesurfing with North winds. The South wind is regular, and sideshore or sideonshore.
