Paternoster is a charming fishing village on the West Coast, known for its typical white houses and laid-back atmosphere. The kite spot is on the main beach, exposed to the Atlantic Ocean. Conditions are technical with often side-offshore wind and powerful swell. The village has become a popular foodie destination with excellent seafood restaurants.
Works in strong SE, S and SSW from October to March. Atlantic swell is constant. Low tide can expose rocks — mid to high tide preferred. Technical spot, reserved for riders comfortable with offshore wind.
