Best Tide:
- High Tide


It's a big bay open on to the west. Really good to start the kite in a safe place. The tide is very important, you kite 2.5 hrs before and after the hight tide. Water level is between 50cm and 2m. No wave (no more than 30cm), it's flat. Nice at high tide but a long walk at low tide. Plenty of windsurfers around.
