The wind most often arrives from SSE according to specialized guides, which practically gives an angle often side-on to side-shore depending on the exact orientation of the launch area. Navigation takes place on shallow water near the caye, with a generally cleaner water surface when the swell remains low and when the tide is low. The spot is especially interesting for clean navigation around the flat area, but one must keep a margin for less readable areas along the caye and towards more exposed passages.
Access is by boat, which completely changes the organization of the session. One must plan for a limited takeoff and landing area, with little space to prepare equipment. The highlight of the spot is the water quality and the tranquility of the place, but this also requires being self-sufficient, anticipating the return, and keeping an eye on the wind evolution offshore.
The spot is said to be navigable year-round, with a preference for the months when the wind is most regular. Available information also converges on better functioning at low tide, confirming the shallow nature of the useful area.
