It's a beach with sideshore wind, long about 500 meters then turn with wind onshore. During last November (end of the season for Lakey Peak) one of our local crew of kiters had 5 out of 5 days of 20-25 knots of wind there when in Lakey was no more then 6-8 knots. Quiet a drive, but when in Lakey wind is marginal it can offer a valid alternative.
