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 and east side of the bay. The spot is not very big but 15 riders are easily accommodated. The peninsula is not higher than maybe 2m which creates perfect offshore conditions with flat water. No beach at all, you set up and launch on grassy fields and then you walk past a few meters of pebbles at the waters edge. The south side of the peninsula is not recommended, only big rocks on the beach and in the water. Winds are dependent on the weather systems moving in over Europe, no predictable trades or sea breeze. Best direction is S to W. Best from April to June and August to October, July is usually less windy. 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.
