When looking at the 'mountains' over the water, North is at your left and South at your right and east thru the flat part of the 'mountains'.
Flat water, wind chop, no tide. There are shallow and deep parts. The spot is located downwind, safe walk of shame upwind thru the shallows and loads of space to kite upwind. All the way up to 'The Butterspot' where the water is mirror smooth for about 300m for some nice speed tracking.
