Historical averages by month — not a live forecast.
The ideal wind for this spot is mainly from the North. An East wind is onshore on the ocean side and offshore on the bay side. A West wind is the opposite: offshore on the ocean side and onshore on the bay side. You should avoid West wind if you are on the bay side, as it can be dangerous. The Southwest wind is not good as it is blocked by the hills.
The water state is flat and choppy, with a shallow depth. The beach has a size okay at low tide, but it can become small at high tide. Next to the beach, there are rocks, then a road and power lines. Be very careful when launching and retrieving your kite. Beginners should launch and retrieve their kite in the water to avoid obstacles.
