Being an inlet, there are areas suitable for almost any wind direction, however a W or NW are least preferred as they are offshore from the main launch area. Winds can often get up to 30 or 40 knots or more, so a small kite can come in handy, although you will get plenty of days in the 15-25 knot range for at least part of the day.
