However when winds are in a south-west or west direction, kite-surfing can become dangerous as the wind can drive you towards the rocks of Little Fistral. Medium to low wind is recommended for safer kite-surfing.

Within few kilometers away, another beach called Watergate Bay is for many practitioners an alternative location for kite-surfing. It offers the possibility for kite-surfers to practice with any wind direction, suitable for both left and right-hand practitioners.

The best spot on the beach is in front of the Beach Hut, since the width of the beach is greater when strong wind is also observed on spot.
