As a result, there is a place for kitesurfing at very beginning of beach 300 meters and at the end of the beach 1000 meters, there is no wave, direction offshore (north, north-west).

 Winter period, everything is much simpler, empty parking lots and a deserted beach, direction of wind Onshore, a good wave for skiing.
