Overview

Edit

Works on W-NNW, probably a SW and S too. Waves can be an issue and I’ve only rode inside on the flats. You can drive onto the beach too and do downwinders pretty easily.

It is your responsibility to check whether kitesurfing is allowed at the spot; you might need a 'special permit' or membership from a local kite organization, etc. Local rules can change. Respect others - kiters or not; kite safely and enjoy the wind!
