Historical averages by month — not a live forecast.
The wind is most often exploitable when it comes from E or SW, with the reading of the water surface depending mainly on the exact orientation and strength of the thermal or a frontal situation. At this spot, the wind is generally more favorable in side-shore to side-on depending on the direction, allowing for more relaxed navigation than in too onshore winds. Launching is done from a large sandy beach, with space to prepare the kite and take off without being too cramped. The spot is suitable for simple coastal navigation, but one must remain attentive to beach traffic and swimming areas when present.
The water surface is generally flatter to slightly choppy, with behavior becoming more irregular if the wind rises or if the current stirs the area. Local riders mainly find a spot for progression and free navigation, with a long beach that allows them to move away from the most crowded area. The launch area requires keeping the kite well controlled, as the urban environment and the presence of other users necessitate clean maneuvers.
