Why Riders Love It
It's good in summer when it's blowing 35+ knots in Pozo Izquierdo you could kite there with only 20-25 knots. In the beach the wind is onshore but as you go out to the sea (100m) it's sideshore. Works with Northeast winds.
When to Go
Summer all year but sometimes a 3 mm wetsuit is enough.
What to Expect
Choppy and waves. With low tide be careful with some reef in the left and right side. The biggest problem of this spot is the nasty water, sometimes it smells very bad. There is a fecal water out near the beach.
