Cold water. Big swell if it is windy. Wind waves. Small to large. Rocky, sandy a bit of everything. There is a small but suitable rigging area. Make sure you stay upwind or you'll soon find yourself in a wind shadow with no hope of making it back in. Unless you stay offshore which I would never recommend. Very erratic. Predictions are often incorrect. Usually 16sqm kites and bigger weather but sometimes 10sqm kites. Wind shadow further downwind, you need to stay upwind. Very cold most of the time. Wetsuit is always necessary with a drysuit advisable in all seasons but summer. Water: Smallwave, Mediumwave. Features: Parking. Rider ability: Intermediate, Expert.
