The beach faces southwest (224°). The most comfortable winds for wing foiling are side-shore (NW, SE) and side-on (S, W). A SW wind blows straight onshore: harder starts and chop. A NE 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.
