Can be almost all directions. That is the big advantage of this bay. Mainly Southwest, although in summer sometimes East. Almost all directions are OK but then sometimes you must walk a lot to come back. East, Southeast and South is offshore! Especially Southeast and East are dangerous and this directions are not suitable for kiting.
