Isla Holbox / Main Beach

There is a gentle current from NE 100m from sand bank when the tide is rising. There are no big waves so this spot is the ideal beginners spot with flat and shallow waters. Sandy bottom. Nice white sandy beaches with some very nice shells, there are no hidden rocks under water. The Kite launch area is just past Las Nubes Hotel. The beach is quite small so please be considerate when rigging kites and taking a break. Usually wind all year. The best wind you have from December till August. During this time the wind is blowing between N and East (most of the days NE which is sideonshore from the right). In winter every two weeks there is a Northerly wind that increases till 30 knots. Than it turns a little to Northeast and slowly dies till 10 knots. And this goes on and on. The lagoon next to the beach works best in N, NNE and NE winds. Ene becomes very gusty on the beach and in the lagoon. Beyond the sand bar the wind is still good. In December it can happen that there is some rain but from January up to August there is no rain anymore. In December and January the temperature is between the 24-30°C and from February up to August it is between 30-35°C. During the year the water temperature is between 22-28°C. In winter a shorty can be useful on colder north wind days. Normally just shorts. Water: Shallow, Flat, Chop. Features: Rooms, Camping, School, Shop, Rental, Rescue, Parking.
