Historical averages by month — not a live forecast.
The wind is generally side-shore from the southeast or southwest, perfect for stable navigation. It gradually increases from the morning with 15-20 knots up to 30 knots in the afternoon, particularly in summer evenings. The wide beach allows for easy rigging on the nearby grass.
Launching is done directly from the sand, with a clear take-off area. The navigation area extends several hundred meters downwind of Dolphin Beach, up to Big Bay for freeriders. Be cautious of crowded areas in high season.
The water surface varies with the tides: more chop offshore but with waves of 1 to 3 meters when the wind picks up, ideal for wave riding. This is the site of the legendary Red Bull King of the Air nearby, with radical conditions for experts.
