Flat and shallow water for about 1.5 km with offshore winds. Nice bay, which gets narrow further downwind in West winds, so still ok in offshore winds. You ride offshore off a dam on a lake. To use this spot you better be intermediate or expert, since you are kiting offshore. Though there is a sand bank 500 meters downwind that will pick you up if you crash. The depth are from 0.5-1.5 meter allover.

The `beach` is rocky, so you have to launch the kite on the grassy rigging area, then walk over the road to the water. Enter the water where the little sand is.

Stay away from the southeast corner of the `lake`, because of a nesting area for birds. The spot is close to other excellent spots if the wind direction changes.
