Medium waves and Big waves spot.
The
launching/landing area
is reported to be of
Medium size.
Sandy beach. The launch is easy, self landing is possible if you wait for a window of wind, because is very gusty in the beach. From December to March the beach is full of people so it's better if you ask for help to launch-land your kite.
Excellent waves. Cross onshore and more onshore as you ride. Good from 1 to 6 meters, lots of swell, very, very strong currents that suck wind from your kite, rock hazards on inside. Not an easy wave to ride well, not for beginners. Mostly a windsurfers spot.
