Very clean. Big shallow area with flat water. Tidal range is quite big at 6m on springs. Small waves with onshore winds. 4 miles of flat soft sand bar, no rocks, enough space to launch and land the kite. Watch out for the cliff and harbor that are downwind in a SW. Set up on the main (big) beach. There is a smaller beach near the harbor, separated by a rocky outcrop - this is your emergency landing if it all goes wrong. Prevailing wind is SW. Cold and wet all year round - you'll need a 5mm wetsuit. Water: Shallow, Flat, Chop, Smallwave. Features: Camping, Rescue, Shower, Toilet, Food, Parking. Rider ability: Beginner, Intermediate, Expert.
