Wind specificities
A windsurfing guide says the spot is best in west, north and north-west winds, and good in south-west and south as well. In a south-westerly, one guide suggests Tavern Beach, below the Tresanton hotel, as an alternative: flat water or bump and jump, and the beach disappears at high tide.
Hazards
Current and shipping channel: heavy commercial shipping traffic linked to the Falmouth yards.
