Launch notes
Launch from the Costanera's accessible shoreline with attention to wind direction shifts between north and south flows. Choppy conditions mean slower acceleration, so position yourself to maximize space for takeoff.
Gear & clothing
Gear · Use 14-17m kites given the modest average wind of 6.3 knots; larger sizes help catch lighter conditions. A twin-tip or directional board suited for chop management is ideal for the choppy water.
Clothing · A 3/2mm wetsuit works year-round in Asuncion's subtropical climate (warmer May-November). Lighter protection or rash guards suffice during peak summer months.
Crowd & etiquette
Respect local boat traffic and swimmers in this urban recreational area. Coordinate with other kiters on the crowded Costanera and follow local guidelines for session times and zones.
Additional notes
Best wind windows occur in May-November when southerly and northeasterly flows are most consistent. Plan sessions early morning or late afternoon to avoid afternoon thermal weakening and heat.
