What the spot record warns about

  • very shallow in places (fin/board strikes)Very shallow sections can cause fin or board strikes, especially over seagrass, rocks or salt-pan structures.
  • warm, low-circulation 'stagnant' water in the height of summer
  • protected nature reserve - respect posidonia seagrass and marked channels
  • Mud and soft bottom make walking unpleasant in places; rocky zones are also reported.
  • Crowded launch and lesson areas in summer, especially around the central kite village/main spot.
