About this spot
Kiteforum.com describes generally flat water with small swell April–October and chop to big swell in winter, a reef about 150 m out, and a white sand beach with no rocks, good for self-launching.
Wind: April–June 15–20 rideable days a month at 11–14 kn; July–August thermal almost daily at 12–16 kn, side-onshore from the north; winter storms bring 25–30 kn onshore from the west. The beach is inside a private oil-company compound, with occasional oil from tankers reaching shore.
