It's a fresh water reservoir. Flat to choppy water, depending on the wind strength. In the middle you can find wave of 1.6 m height, very nice to jump and to pass it over.
Beach with hard sand. The beach is not safe. Is getting better all the time, but you need to look out for rocks. Wind on the shore is gusty so water start is with body in the water and have to bring the kite rapidly to the other side. That makes it a place not good for beginners.
A wetsuit is recommended all year. Warm water from September to April, you can use wetsuit 2 or 3 mm, thicker one is not necessary at that time. Every time it's sunny, sun block is advised, Chile´s sun burns a lot, be aware of it, you will never feel cold.
