Beautiful blue water. Shallow for about 100m. The stronger the wind and the more onshore the higher the waves. In some areas it can be very nice with flat space in between the waves. Lots of space and sandy bottom. Normally Dolphins are around. 30 km long, sandy beach. All natural and lots of space. No obstacles. You normally kite alone. Watch out for shells on the beach when walking without shoes and laying down a kite. The south tip of Playa las Tortugas is Punta Mosquito. Usually wind all year. The best wind you have from December till August. During this time the wind is blowing between N and East. 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. Since it is a huge bay and long beach, it has more wind directions being sideshore: east bay SW and NE, west bay NW and SE. 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: Chop, Smallwave. Features: None. Rider ability: Beginner, Intermediate, Expert.
