Las Machas

The water is perfectly flat in the southern part and in the northern part you can get waves, though the wind gets down a bit. When swells hit the southern part you get perfect waves to jump. Nice and very long beach, lots of space to launch the kite, no special entries, just find your spot and go ride. The wind is most of the time South and depending on where you are at the beach it goes sideshore to sideonshore, from the south to the northern part of the beach. The wind's range is usually between 13-18 knots, so a large gear is necessary. The best direction for the wind is South to Southwest. In summer (December to March) it gets really warm, you can kite without wetsuits. The rest of the year you will need a 3-4 wetsuit. The best season is definitely summer! Water: Flat, Chop, Smallwave, Mediumwave. Features: Rescue, Food, Parking. Rider ability: Intermediate, Expert.
