About this spot
Kiteforum.com reports a summer thermal from the east (side-onshore from the right) peaking at about 15–18 kn around 5–7 pm, with winter frontals from any sea direction at 25 kn or more and the occasional hot, sandy Ghibli from the south.
Water is flat to choppy, messier in winter; small rocks hide underwater at the entry, so booties are advised. In summer beach huts line the shore and you need to find a gap.
