Historical averages by month — not a live forecast.
The ideal wind for this spot mainly comes from the SW (Southwest) and NW (Northwest), offering side-on or side-shore conditions depending on the exact position on the beach. The water is generally flat with some occasional chop, and kitesurfing conditions do not depend on tides, allowing for riding at any time. Launching is done on the long sandy beach with enough space to set up comfortably. Navigation areas are vast, allowing for easy distancing from the shore. A local peculiarity is that the wind is often calmer at sunrise, and can strengthen as early as 10 AM.
