Choppy. Moderate tides, stronger as you go further out. Reef covered at high tide, visible at low. Rocky (gravel, boulders), logs. Dangerous launch. Narrow beach. In stronger winds kites are launched from the water. Also someone holding onto your harness is strongly recommended in strong winds. Self launch is possible, way easier in the summer. Self landing is not recommended (unless you want to test the durability of your kite). Tap your head and and someone on the beach will catch your kite. Usually sideshore or sideonshore. Average in summer is about 50% of days some months much more, some less. Usually 12-16m kites weather, 10-25kts. Usually W sometimes SW. Best direction is W. In winter highly unpredictable, frontal kiting. Very windy 9m kites or less, 25+kts. Very lofty location due to large cliff (increases loft danger). Best months are May to September (especially June and July) due to thermals. But it is ridable all year with frontals in winter. Water is cold all year round. Air temp varies 15-25°C. I would say a wetsuit/drysuit is always necessary. 3-2mm in summer minimum to 6-4mm in winter. Water: Shallow, Chop. Features: Toilet, Parking. Rider ability: Expert.
