Historical averages by month — not a live forecast.
The recommended wind for kitesurfing is mainly coming from the SW (southwest), providing an ideal side-shore orientation for the beach. Sometimes, the wind can come from the W (west) or NW (northwest), creating a side-on or offshore orientation depending on the rider's exact position.
The water is generally flat to chop, with a progressive depth and a sandy bottom. You can stand up to 50 meters from the shore, allowing for safe navigation for beginners and intermediates. The navigation areas are wide and clear, with easy access to the water on the beach and a natural take-off zone without obstacles.
Local features include the presence of torrent mouths or seasonal rivers, which can slightly alter the bottom near the beach. The spot is very popular with kitesurfers, especially in summer, but remains accessible thanks to its long sandy beach.
