Beautiful clear water. Flat to choppy. A huge shallow area upwind to the north. From April to October even on high tide very shallow if not dry. Otherwise up to waist deep. Perfect for learners. Across the channel coral island with shallow water. Only surf there with shoes. In the upwind bay and launch from the big, sandy beach with lots of space or in the shallow water. Some shells at the water line, which are sharp. Beach boys will help you to launch you from the water. Great winds from spring to autumn. Summer has the most windy days. From October to April can be good can be bad. But normally you will have windy days at each trip. Winds can be anything, normally gets stronger before noon and drops in the afternoon. The wind is always stronger than the forecast, but if at least a norther wind with at least 2-3 Bft is forecasted, then you get enough to have fun.

Almost always sunshine and warm. Summer can be up to 40°C and the water 29°C. The sun is very hard, so clothes as sun protection is highly recommended.
