Beautiful waves with the usual NE trade winds. Otherwise choppy water with SE. 1 km long beach, just pebbles and stones. At low tide the beach is sandy closest to the water. Be careful when launching and landing kites. NE trade winds. During winter SE winds possible. Probably Gran Canarias most windy spot for kiters. If North or Northeast winds, the wind picks up well here. Add 10 knots to the forecast. In summer normally 30-40 knots. Warmer air, around 25°C all year. Winter a bit colder. 3 mm wetsuit all year needed, since the water is not warm enough. Water: Chop, Smallwave, Mediumwave. Features: Parking. Rider ability: Beginner, Intermediate, Expert.
