Why Riders Love It
From April to July, you can have North Winds, which come with rain. You have maybe 1 or 2 good North Winds a month in that period. You can kite in some different spots with North Wind, like Playa La Boca (usually just a surf spot), or in Renaca.
When to Go
Cold water all year long.
What to Expect
You can kite in Punta Piedra (in front of the big island), where you have left and right handed waves, that break fast so you can have maybe 1 or 2 turns. A little bit up north (500 meters), there is a flat water lagoon, next to a bridge, sometimes have a lot of water and sometimes just a little bit. A little bit more north from that (500 meters more), you have the best freestyle spot in the area. It's a lagoon protected by small dunes. The track is long, but you kite next to the train rails, so is a experts spot only.
