Open ocean water, usually small chop, sometimes big chop and sometimes real left breaking waves, it depends on the swell. The beach looks perfect. Clear and soft sand, very large space to launch and land, some grass to setup your kite, nice crew support and rescue boat. Often wind direction is East/Northeast, the best for the spot, 3 to 4 days a week at the best season. Other times we have Southwest wind with big swells, North offshore wind and raining South wind. Normally 10-15 knots, sometimes 15-25 knots, rarely 25-35 knots. The air and water temperatures are most of the year pretty warm, during the winter is necessary to wear a wetsuit. The best season is September till December, but is possible to kite all year. Water: Chop, Smallwave, Mediumwave, Bigwave. Features: School, Shop, Rescue, Shower, Toilet, Food, Parking. Rider ability: Intermediate, Expert.
