Flat to choppy water in the shallow areas. Small waves which can get bigger with stronger winds. Fun waves to play with. Tidal beach, but always shallow for about 100-200m. Lots of space on the water, it can never get packed. In high summer some swimmers, but always lots of space to left and right. A small lagoon forms to the South on high tide. Shallow but ridable, gets deeper to its South end. Currents depend on the tide, but not too strong. A few shells on the bottom.
Huge sandy beach. Soft and hard sand. You need to walk a long way to the water's edge. About 700m on low tide and 500m on high tide. No obstacles, only a few wooden markers with the tide table on it. Few shells on the beach.
Nice in high summer, water can be around 20°C, air between 20-30°C. Shorty is fine or even shorts on hot days. Otherwise a wetsuit is needed, short arm with long legs fro about end of May to September. Riding through winter possible, but very cold.
