Forecast and webcams

Before you go

Forecasts often disagree. When Windguru, ALADIN and Windy agree, it is worth going.

Tips for this spot

Offshore wind carries you away from land. Do not ride it without a rescue boat.
When a storm is coming, get out of the water and land the kite at once. Gusts before a storm are violent and a kite overhead is the highest point around.
New spot: ask locals about shallows, currents and where people launch.

In riders' own words

„This area works best with a wind from the north... Wind from the south works“
„The beach is sandy rather than rocky at low tide, making it relatively easy to self launch and land if the tide is -3 or lower.“
„Wind from the south works, but the hillside makes the launching a bit challenging.“
„The beach is sandy rather than rocky at low tide... the hillside makes the launching a bit challenging.“
