Best Season
Year-round, with the most comfortable water from April to October and a good winter option when the sea is calm.
Typical Conditions
Often clear and bright, with a shallow start and a route that may be adjusted to the current. Expect a calm-to-moderate profile rather than a long exposed drift.
