Beautiful clear water. Flat to choppy. A huge shallow area upwind to the north. From Arpil to October even on high tide very shallow if not dry. Otherwise up to waist deep. Perfect for learners. Right in front of the hotel small shallow area and across the channel coral island with shallow water. Only surf there with shoes.

In front of the hotel lots of concrete where a kite could be launched. South in a wind shadow nice soft beach. Windsurfer can get into water by a little bridge, kiters should launch from the water. You can also walk in the upwind bay and launch from the big, sandy beach with lots of space or in the shallow water.

Great winds from spring to autumn. Summer has the most windy days. From October to April can be good can be bad. But normally you will have windy days at each trip. Winds can be anything, normally gets stronger before noon and drops in the afternoon. The wind is always stronger than the forecast, but if at least a norther wind with at least 2-3 Bft is forecasted, then you get enough to have fun. Since it is a bay, you have at the east and west coast sideshore winds. 25-30 knots every day in summer from 10 to 4 pm then 15 knots till 6 pm.
