La Ventana

Very civilized water. Glassy in the morning. Building wind swell in the afternoon. Very little cross chop. 1000 mile fetch from the north brings breaking swells on the reefs on the windiest days. Sweet backside riding, little or no shore break. Lots of open water to ride if you stay upwind of the crowded campground. A huge beach with lots of options. Some spots are a little small like Kitebeach in Maui but are very safe with safe launching techniques. Huge downwind catch beach, no getting blown out to sea. Sandy beach by the campground and at the southern end, rocks and urchins in between. Very consistent, 80% of the afternoons. Range is 15-30 mph. Wind from North, thermal wind midday thru afternoon usually under 20knots. When El Norte kicks in it gets windier. East wind is fluky and tends to die off early. Not much wind in the off-season. La Ventana has a combination of 3 winds, all from the north or northwest: A strong thermal, a venturi between two tall mountain ranges, and the famous 'El Norte'. Season late October to March.
