Big salt water lake, no waves, water is fairly choppy most of the time, it is waist deep for about 100-150m offshore. You can see where it becomes deep by the bouy line, after this you can't stand anymore.

Fairly large grass strip, which is easy to reach via the parking lot (it's next to it). At the waters edge there are rocks (wear shoes!!). The grass allows to launch safely, in most wind directions. Some areas with small piece of grass, sharp rock and then the water with the same sharp rocks on the bottom.

Good constant winds (not like at sea, but fairly good) when wind is blowing from West over North till East. From southern directions however the wind is blowing over an elevation, so this causes it to be gusty and shifty. Windspeeds avg: 6-20 knots. (25 knots on `good` days).

 Rules, Restrictions and Extra Info
Rules:
No Information


You must take the spot most on the east side to kitesurf, this is to keep the windsurfers and kitesurfers out of each other. Also there's a small bay at the spot, it isn't allowed to kitesurf here so don't do it. I think kitesurfing isn't officially allowed anyway, so if something happens the spot is history for kiters.
