Dunas de Chachalacas

There are big waves when cold fronts come down, with a lot of wind chop. You can find some flat water as well, in between waves. Nice fine black sand. No rocks, pebbles or shells. There is a lot of space to launch. It's a nice bay which curves. Winds from the North can be very strong, unkiteable, but doable on a small windsurf sail. The Norte season is from mid October to early April, with a cold front coming down about once a week, in varying intensities. The `Nortes` can reach up to 80 knots in the gusts, but are normally 15-45 knots. Normally they hit very strong, and pass in one or two days, ending with very kiteable 15-25 knot winds as they pass. They are normally pretty stable, but sometimes gusty. There is a very long point, which makes kitesurfing possible in any wind direction between N, E and S. There is also some good Southeast winds from March to June. There is a thermal there, because of the dunes, but this wind is mostly about 15 knots, but nice and steady. Normally it is quite warm, only when there are cold fronts coming down from the north `Nortes` you will you need a shorty to stay comfortable. The temperature during the day, can be quite hot, use sunscreen, the sun is pretty strong. The water is not cold, can get a little bit chilly during cold fronts, but at most you will need a shorty. Water: Chop, Smallwave, Mediumwave, Bigwave. Features: Shower, Toilet, Food, Parking. Rider ability: Intermediate, Expert.
