Main beach of Costa Nova, sandy, no rocks and with good beach facilities,easy paring,easy acess, beach bars and showers.It's never crowded, and even in high summer period it is possible to enter on the far most right side. Wave conditions differ a lot depending on the swell, if its 1-1.5mt its good for all levels, if its bigger you need some experience. Good reef outside, caused by the sand banks, wich is the love of the local riders.
Best wind directions N and NE.You see the wind reports every 10 min on the local kitesurf school riactiva at www.riactiva.com (when its N,NE and NW you have to add more 5 kt to the readings of the school, because its located in the lagoon, and the houses block the wind a bit, also when its N and NE and without clouds, you can add 10 kt to the windguru forecast! )
