Water Type: - Shallow - Chop Hazards: No Information Quality: No Information Best Tide: No Information The water is shallow till about 200 meters offshore. The soil is very slippery, so you can't really stand and give resistance to the kite. After 200 m it becomes deep. The water can be quite choppy actually. Big salt water lake. Edit
Beach
Type: No Information Size: No Information Hazards: No Information Beach crowds: No Information
There's is a small sand beach, with lots of shells, and pebbles, so be carefull with your kite there. You can launch your kite safely but watch out with onshore winds, cause you're at the bottom of a dyke, on which there is lots of barbwire. Entry: This is one of the downsides to this spot, cause the beach is accesible trough a narrow road, and on good day's the end of the road is blocked with people. So you have to park a bit away and walk to the beach with your stuff etc. Edit
