Launch notes
Launch from sandy beach areas when accessible; choppy ocean conditions require careful entry timing during lulls. WNW and NE winds are most consistent; avoid launching during strong offshore flow due to terrain funneling effects.
Gear & clothing
Gear · Pack 12-15m kites for average 12.2kt winds with a smaller 9-12m for stronger day conditions. Use a directional or wave board to handle choppy water; avoid light freestyle boards in these conditions.
Clothing · 3/2mm wetsuit sufficient for most months given Baja's warm Pacific waters; upgrade to 4/3mm during winter months (Jan-Feb). Consider reef booties due to rocky bottom hazards.
Crowd & etiquette
Respect local fishing operations and coordinate with any existing water users. Keep a safe distance from anchored boats and report your session to locals if possible.
