Overview
North of Barranquilla, there is a large urban beach open to the Caribbean Sea, with easy access and plenty of space to launch. The water conditions are often rather flat to moderately choppy depending on the area and exposure, with kite conditions suitable for various styles of riding. The most sought-after winds mainly occur from December to April, with a peak often cited between January and March, and the N to NE orientations are the most favorable. This area is accessible to many levels, but the atmosphere is more enjoyable for independent riders, as the beach can be crowded and some spots near the river may carry debris. Nearby, the spots of Puerto Velero and Santa Verónica / Salinas del Rey complement the area well for a mix of flat, waves, and downwind.
