Specifically, in the summer, you can come across waves with swell size 1.3 m to 2 m (4-6.5 ft) and the wind blows offshore 25%, while in the spring the waves demonstrate the same swell size and the wind blows offshore 35%. In autumn and winter, we observe the best waves, with swell size from 2 m to 3 m (6.5-10 ft) and sometimes with swell size more than 3 m (10 ft). The wind blows offshore 34% and 37% respectively.
The swell size starts working at 1.5-2 m/ 5-6 ft and holds up to 4+ m/12+ ft. There is a kite-surf school, with experts that can show you the magic of kite-surf, while the Atlantic ocean would mislead you into a world full of mystery.
