Choppy rolling waves depending on wind. Narrow sand beach with enough room to rig and launch. Might be able to find more space at the river mouth but the bottom is not as sandy. Was on the island in Feb and March. These are supposed to be the least windy months. Only had a 10m and a TT with me. Kited about 2 days a week, would have gotten 5 days a week with a 13m. Summer is supposed to be super strong. Very comfortable everyday. Water: Chop, Smallwave. Features: None. Rider ability: Intermediate, Expert.
