Hazards

Shallow lagoon waters with potential seagrass and debris requiring careful foot placementOccasional motorboat and jet ski traffic in the lagoon areaStrong currents during tidal changes that can affect positioningLow wind days (avg 11.9 kts) may require smaller kites or land sessions

Launch notes

The flat lagoon water provides ideal beginner conditions with easy beach launches from sandy areas. NNE to N winds are most consistent; launch when wind direction aligns with the lagoon orientation to maximize riding area.

Gear & clothing

Gear · Use 15-17m kites for the light average wind conditions (11.9 kts); consider a 19m for lighter wind days. Twin-tip boards or beginner-friendly directional boards work well in the flat water.

Clothing · A light 2-3mm wetsuit is sufficient given Cartagena's warm tropical climate year-round, or wear rash guards and board shorts for protection from sun and minor scrapes.

Crowd & etiquette

Respect local fishing activity and share the lagoon space with other water users. Keep a safe distance from swimmers and boat traffic, particularly near the main beach areas.

Additional notes

February through March offers the most consistent wind with 54 windy days annually concentrated in these months. Visit during dry season (Dec-Mar) for best conditions and check tide times, as shallow lagoon areas can become very tight at low tide.
