Beach and Tide Conditions
Sal / Albatroz (Ponta Leme Bedje), Cape Verde is a
Flat, Small waves and Medium waves spot.
The
launching/landing area
is reported to be of
Medium size.
The beach is OK and there is enough place to launch your kite.
Due to (side)offshore winds the water is really flat. Sometimes when the swell is more south, there is a point break really clean over a length of approx. 500m and not too high. If the swell is there, it's really a great place to learn wave riding without any danger. Stronger current in winter.
