Shallow in a big part of the bay, very flat from S to W winds. Bottom is sandy with some seaweed further out and some spread out big rocks in the water on the north side of the bay. The spot is not very big, more than 5-7 riders and some have to move further out so it doesn't get crowded. About 100m of sand, the rest of the beach is pebbles or grass. There's a big grass field behind the beach which is suitable for setup and launching. The beach gets very crowded in the summer if the weather is nice, mostly families with little children. When this is the case, walk out on the pebble "peninsulas" south of the beach before entering the water. Winds are dependent on the weather systems moving in over Europe, no predictable trades or sea breeze. Best direction is S to SW. See the map provided, it is also possible to ride on the south side of Kovik so the "onshore/offshore" directions can pretty much be neglected, just avoid easterly winds. Water in April is 5-10°C and during the summer it gets above 20°C. Drysuit to shorty depending on the season. Off-season possible with drysuit. Water: Shallow, Flat, Chop. Features: Parking. Rider ability: Beginner, Intermediate, Expert.
