Historical averages by month — not a live forecast.
The spot works well in side-shore or on-shore winds from the north and northeast, with easy launching on hard sand. The navigation area extends for kilometers in the lagoon, with walkable areas everywhere and water up to 1.5m max, even at low tide where you may need to walk 400m to ride. Beginners stay close to the school beach, while intermediates and advanced riders explore the 4km wide by 10km long area. Launching is from the private beach of the center, which is always spacious. Be cautious of fishing areas near the edges, but the water remains navigable in any wind due to its stability.
