The spot mainly works with winds from northeast and north, coming side-on from the right for a rider facing the sea. Launching is easy on the compact sand, with a wide and clear take-off area on the beach. Navigation is done in front of the beach over about 500m to 1km wide before the rocky areas, while staying alert to local rips. Depending on the tides, the water surface goes from light chop at high tide to more technical at low tide where dry areas appear. The best sessions are in the late thermal day in summer, or with established wind in winter.
