SPOT OVERVIEW

This place offers perfect conditions for kitesurfing, wingfoil or windsurfing from November until the end of April, the trade winds from the north-northeast (NNE) with speeds between 15 and 30 that stabilize from 11 am and lose intensity around 5 p.m., make this a prime destination for practitioners of all disciplines looking for consistent and reliable wind.

Baia is a magnificent spot with offshore wind, depending on the conditions we can have flat water or waves, the location is perfect with swells at the waist or shoulder when you can enter and exit from the sea safely.

If you are looking for an easy wave to ride in any modality, almost in front of our center we have a reef with a perfect wave up to your waist or shoulder, an excellent option where you can do some maneuvers with the side wind off.

If you want a heavier wave Leoa is perfect located 900 meters from our center it is a right that is divided into 3 sections you don’t need to go over the shore break just go out through the channel to get to the outside.

On days with more swell when the safety boats cannot enter the sea due the big waves and  the very aggressive shore break, we will take you to the best spots around the island with our experienced guides, they know the best spot each day depending  the wind direction or swell.
