Overview

Edit

The best time for kitesurfing at Barra del Chuy is in summer with prevailing winds from the NE.
The NE winds in the region are constant and not gusty.
The alignment of the wind and the sea make Barra del Chuy an excellent place to practice Kitewave in the summer.
On winter the winds come from SE.

Check barra.com.uy for places to sleep.

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!
