Along the shoreline there is usually a modest shore break, allowing for some fun wave kiting but nothing really exceptional. The point - Salinas Del Rey - is where most people kite. Inside the point the water is protected and quite smooth, so TT kiters ride there. Peeling off the point is a nice wave. The wave varies from quiet small to moderate (head high) making for decent wave riding most of the time. At times the point \"goes off\" and the waves can jack up to double overhead. I can't explain \"why\" or \"when\" exactly this happens: it certainly happened when the wind picked up to over 25 knots, but according to the locals is also related to the arrival of the full moon. The character of the water changes dramatically: the choppy water offshore turns into big, widely spaced swells that generate a perfect break at the point. These bigger waves can peel off deep into the bay behind the point allowing for long rides on smooth wave faces. Not exactly down-the-line, as the wind is still side-on, but definitely one of the nicest waves I've had the opportunity to ride. It should be mentioned that when the wind picks up (& also with a higher tide) there is a lot of wood floating in the water as the logs along miles of coastline are picked up & blown downwind. A bit hazardous - I never had a serious incident, but charging a wave face wondering if there might be a log about to crash down on top of you was a little nerve-wracking at times.","access":"","hazards":"","tide":"","windType":"Trade","boat":false,"nkz":false,"lowq":false,"quality":0.93,"aliases":["Salinas Del Rey","Santa Veronica (Salinas Del Rey)"]},{"id":821,"name":"Le Piege","country":"Congo","state":"","continent":"Africa","city":"Pointe Noire","address":"Pointe Noire, Congo","coords":[-4.7745,11.8259],"type":"ocean","launch":"Ocean","wind":[],"months":[],"desc":"Stay out of the shipping channel.","access":"To go by car you need to drive through the harbor.

The waves are dominantly right-hander waves, breaking over a shallow but mostly safe reef.

Weekends can be crowded with local non-kiters and many kids. Please always give them right of way. Depending on the tides and wind direction, water starts can be a bit tricky, as your ability to get out in the water to start may be limited and starting requires sending the kite down over the rocks if going out on the South side. Once out on the water, you'll need to decide if you're heading upwind toward the ships and the channel or out and around Brooks Island to the left, as the area in front of the launch is in the wind shadow of Brooks Island, resulting in weaker and often turbulent winds. Left and south of the island offers strong, steady wind and some nice ramps and chop all the way toward the Albany Bulb and Berkeley. Upwind into the channel requires some effort to get to, but can reward you with smooth water behind the sandbar and breakwater. If you do kite upwind to the channel, please do not encroach on the protected Tern/sea bird nesting grounds at the west end of the sand spit/breakwater. There is a sign indicating the area asking for a 200’ clearance. The main body of Brooks Island is owned by EBRPD and they only allow access through request, so please do not walk on it for any reason as it could threaten access. There is a fence on the sandbar and access is allowed west of that fence IF needed for some reason. It cannot be used for launching and landing kites, other than emergency. Use caution for large freighters in the channel, they have right of way and are very limited in maneuverability as they are under tug control in the channel. If the fog comes rolling in, conditions can quickly become very gusty and turbulent so be aware. Also if you become overpowered, you may want to consider two other and safer landing options depending on where you are, rather than attempting to come in at the main beach launch. If you have been kiting upwind, you may want to consider coming in at the upper beach on the other side of the breakwater jetty as the beach is much larger, or if you are downwind there's an even larger beach at the east end after the rocks end. As with many locations, consider all the hazards and conditions and what your plan will be if you become overpowered or experience equipment failure. Please use good judgment here, as in all spots.

Given its challenging conditions you won't find beginners here on big days. However small days are great for aspiring waveriders and intermediate Bay riders wishing to acquaint themselves with the ocean. In either case, if this is your first time sailing in the ocean, consider a lesson as OB has taken the expert inland but neophyte ocean sailor to the great kitesurfing beyond. Riding close to shore might have your board and fins stumbling on hidden sandbars. Nearshore-riding can also increase one's chances of being surprised with sudden large waves that break on those sandbars. Although currents and rip are a big factor, they can be negotiated with skill and conditioning. Many OB riders prefer to stay on the inside and ride the foam. Energy is much lower in this 20-30 yard wide zone and you mitigate those wave-induced existential moments. If you venture into the break zone however, be aware that if you go down, the waves can pin you to the bottom. Especially when they are overhead (most of the time), this is not a place for intermediates much less beginners. Even during it's mellower moments, the OB wave is thick and more destructive.

Racetrack essentially launches you into the middle of the Olympic Circle and gives you easy access to the fantastic wind near Brooks Island. At high tide, there is a section at the end of the Bulb that is an enclosed pool of flat water that is kiteable. It can be tricky to enter the pool, however, and only advanced kiters should attempt this. Booties are required, as you have to walk over rocks to enter. There are rocks lining the coastline and these rocks have sharp barnacles on them. Your kite will likely rip upon contact and your feet will not fare well traversing them without booties. There is an old pier extending from Fleming Point to the south of Albany Beach. Be careful not to clip your lines on or drift into the pylons. While there are no known slightly submerged rocks or other obstacles off shore, a number of logs and driftwood make their way into the cove, so be aware of this potential hazard.

These are the months where the wind reaches its highest average and the sun is guaranteed, specially on the north Pacific beaches. This is also the dry season. During the day it's hot but dry and the nights are cooler. You can spend hours in the warm water. All year around the temperature is between 22 and 34°C. Water in the lake around 72°F. It is super-windy and does have some rain in the beginning of the season, but it is patchy and you get hours of sun in between for the most part. As the season progresses the rain tapers off and by January it is mostly sunny and still cranking.
