Historical averages by month — not a live forecast.
Navigation takes place in open sea, in an area highly dependent on the tide. The spot mainly works at mid-tide and high tide, when the rocks are sufficiently covered to allow for safe launching. The prevailing wind blows from the west to southwest, arriving side to side-onshore. The water conditions are choppy to very choppy, with powerful and sometimes messy waves depending on the swell and wind. Spot reading is essential before any launch.
