The main wind comes from N, NNE, NE, which gives a side-on to side-off orientation relative to the east-facing beach. This is ideal as the wind gently pushes towards the shore without too much risk of drifting away. The launch area is medium-sized on the sandy beach, but you need to wear shoes due to the corals near the shore. The take-off area is clear further north where there are fewer people.
The water state is flat to chop depending on the wind strength, with small waves possible. At high tide, it is recommended as access is easier and the shallow water extends for several tens of meters. Beginners stay close to the beach in the shallow area, while advanced riders go further out where the bottom becomes sandy. Be cautious of tourists on the central beach, better to navigate north for more space.
Local feature: the spot is in a lively resort, with showers and toilets available. Parking on site. The wind often picks up in the afternoon, perfect for long sessions.
