Amenities

Basic beach facilities in nearby Tecoman townLocal restaurants and accommodations within 10-15 kmSmall fishing village infrastructure with limited tourist services

Hazards

Choppy ocean conditions with strong currents and potential rip tidesShallow sandbars and rocky outcrops near shoreLimited windy days (1.5/year) require careful trip planningStrong afternoon thermal winds that can shift rapidly

Launch notes

Launch from the beach working with westerly or south-southeast winds; choppy conditions require careful entry timing during calmer morning periods. Scout the beach for the smoothest launch zone avoiding rocky areas.

Gear & clothing

Gear · Bring 14-17m kites to maximize light wind potential (avg 7.1 kts); use freestyle or wave boards suited for choppy conditions. A larger quiver is essential given infrequent wind windows.

Clothing · 2-3mm wetsuit year-round for water temperature protection; lighter suits acceptable during peak summer months (Jun-Sep). Water stays relatively warm but consistent coverage prevents sea irritation.

Crowd & etiquette

Respect local fishermen and their nets; this is an active fishing area where tourism is secondary. Communicate with locals and other water users about your session plans.

Additional notes

This is a marginal spot requiring patience and flexibility—plan extended trips to catch reliable wind windows in June and September. Check local weather forecasts closely as thermal patterns dominate this coastal region.
