Historical averages by month — not a live forecast.
The spot offers two distinct areas: the inner lagoon to the south with flat and very shallow water, perfect for beginners, and the open northern area with more pronounced chop for intermediates. Launching is easy on the fine sand, ideally at the center of the long beach where take-off is simple even though it fills up quickly in high season.
The side-on to side-shore winds from the NW (Maestral) or NE are the best, blowing cross to the beach from the sea. The lagoon remains flat even with strong winds, while the open sea chops quickly. Independent of tides, the spot always works thanks to its shallow depth for several hundred meters.
A dedicated kite zone is monitored by the school with a safety boat. Avoid the edges where swimmers flock in summer; stay in the kite zone for a smooth ride.
