Recommended wind for kitesurfing is wind coming from ENE, E, ESE, SE and SSE .

Avoid trying to launch above mid tide as the natural bay makes the wind very fluky. Launching: Your best bet is to pump up on the beach and then rig up close to the water's edge. The ground can be slippery, so it's probably safest to do a drift launch from shallow water. On return to the beach after your session, you are safest dropping your kite in the shallow water close to the beach.

Wind usually blows from SW and WSW, W on the spot.
