The beach faces north (350°). The most comfortable winds for wing foiling are side-shore (E, W) and side-on (NE, NW). A N wind blows straight onshore: harder starts and chop. A S wind blows offshore, from land out to sea: avoid it without a safety boat, it pushes you out and is gusty near the shore.

Possible activities: wing foil, kite foil, windfoil, surf foil and downwind depending on the swell, pump foil from the beach or a pontoon.
