Why Riders Love It

Winds are side to maybe slightly sideonshore at the beach, on the lagoon, no problem. Almost wind every day from July to January. February to July about 65%. Strongest winds in August to October.

📅

When to Go

Sunny and warm, air 30-35°C and water 30°C. Rainy season from February to June. So expect rain showers during the day, but still has lots of sun.

What to Expect

Perfectly flat. It´s the river meeting the sea. Normally the beach is closed creating the lagoon. Once a year during rainy season (February to May) the lagoon has too much water and the water breaks through to the ocean. Then the lagoon is too shallow to ride on it and also gets dry. Be careful with rocks in the water who have very sharp shells on it. They are in the middle of the lagoon closer to the beach. It's recommended to wear shoes.
