The water conditions depend on the Atlantic wave and on the strength and direction of the prevailing wind (NE-East). Northeast wind: flat water, East wind: slightly choppy. Good conditions for jumping and wave riding thanks to the ocean swell which can reach 1.5-2m. The underwater bottom consists of fine white sand.

The beach stretches for about 2 km length and it consists of soft and nice sand. On the leeward side of the bay, the peninsula of Moule a' Chique borders the sickle shaped beach preventing the kitesurfers from drifting off. The kitesurfing area is located leeward side of the bay and gives the possibility to land and launch safely the kite.
