Overview

Edit

Big bay with very consistent wind, laid back kite community. Many people stay there over the season living in the RVs or camping.
Best season Nov-Mar.

Wind

Mostly in the afternoon. Anything from 12-30 knts. Combination of three winds – the famous El Norte, strong thermal, and a venturi between two tall mountain ranges.

Dangers

Rocks

It is your responsibility to check whether kitesurfing is allowed at the spot; you might need a 'special permit' or membership from a local kite organization, etc. Local rules can change. Respect others - kiters or not; kite safely and enjoy the wind!

Wind

Heads up: this is a thermal spot: the wind comes from the land heating up during the day. Thermal wind usually doesn't show up on the forecast and in stats as they're fairly local. The windy days include our modelled thermal days that should be sufficient to kite. The average wind speeds don't include the thermal, so expect more wind than they show.
