- Man-made danger (buoys etc..)
Good wind directions are from West and North with 6+ Beaufort, because the spots at the West Beach depend on wind swell only. Off course good wind directions can also be from the Eastern directions to clean the swell from the storm on the day before.
Atmosphere
You can get pissed off by tourists thinking you´re at distress at sea, having no clue you´re not a kite or wind surfer. So police can pop up at the promenade. Happens regularly. Just don´t care about it.
General
Can be good, can be bad. Just have a look over the dunes.
