Santa Veronica kite spot in Cartagena

Kitesurfing wind conditions in Santa Veronica

The kitesurfing season in Santa Veronica is from December until April, with the most constant strong wind from January until March. The swell is difficult to forecast as it can change with tides and the moon cycle, but it also tends to pick up with the wind, so as a general rule the strongest days will offer the largest waves. The shore break along the main beach can be quite large, so if you are uncomfortable jumping on your kiteboard and starting straight away you might find it easier to body drag through the breakers and then get riding. The weather is warm and the water too, so you won’t be needing a wetsuit to kitesurf here, but make sure you protect yourself from the sun.

For the best flat water and freestyle kiteboarding you’ll probably want to head down to the point at Salinas del Ray or get a ride to Palmarito (which is also where most beginner lessons will take place).
