Presa de Huapango

The water is choppy to flat, depending where you are on the lake. Fortunately the water is not so deep, and you can stand up at many points in the water. The lake is surrounded by cornfields, so the correct launch spot is important. The beach is hard packed dirt, so be careful, and the mud as you get in the water is quite slippery as well. We just barely discovered the spot, so are not so sure about the wind, but most times we have gone there it is windy, and most of those times quite strong. About 15-25 knots. The wind was quite constant most times we have been there. The best direction is North, because there are no mountains on the North, so the wind comes in cleanly. South is very gusty and frontal, there are mountains on the West, East and South sides of the dam. Also, the lake stretches from North to South, so North wind is perfect with many many sideshore spots. There is not much possibility of wind during the rainy season, which goes from June to late October, with rain almost everyday. But if the day is windy, it is quite possible. It is a lake, quite large, so every wind direction is kiteable. Winter it's quite cold, a 4/3 full wetsuit is recommended. March to October a shorty should be fine. Rainy season goes from June to late October, with rain almost every day. Water: Shallow, Flat, Chop. Features: Food, Parking. Rider ability: Intermediate, Expert.
