The wind direction is usually coming from south, southwest all year round. However the best time to paraglide this spot is from April to late November when the thermal winds gently lift you higher and flying becomes smoother.

There are many landing areas to choose from such as the parking lots on the main road, or the beach. Keep in mind that the beach is narrow and is surrounded by a steep hill, so extra caution is needed if you choose to land there.
