Punta Antonia
Cabo Verde · Boa Vista
Ponta Antonia, located on the northeast coast of Boa Vista in Cape Verde, is a popular spot for kitesurfers due to its consistent winds and flat, protected water. This small bay offers a wild setting with a fine sandy beach in front of a rocky lava desert, perfect for quiet sessions away from the crowds.
The spot is accessible by 4x4 from Espingueira, adding a touch of adventure to kite days. Locals and schools like KiteKriol organize trips to enjoy the varied conditions, from the flat inside to small outer waves.
It is an authentic place where you can ride in the midst of nature, with few people and a relaxed atmosphere.
Historical averages by month — not a live forecast.
The main wind comes from the northeast (NE) and blows side-onshore relative to the southeast-facing beach, providing consistent power without the risk of going offshore. With typical speeds of 15 to 25 knots, it is ideal for freeride, freestyle, or waves. The inner area is a large flat section perfect for tricks and learning, while the outside offers waves up to 2.5 m that break on the rocks.
Launching takes place on a medium-sized sandy beach, with a good takeoff and landing area. Be careful to choose the right window to avoid the rocks during launch. Tides do not significantly impact the spot, but at low tide, the water remains navigable with feet in the first meters. For downwinders, you can head towards other bays like Praia da Atalanta, but always with a planned pickup.
Local schools offer storage and rescue boat services, which secures sessions even for intermediates. The water state transitions from flat to light chop inside, and to small/medium waves outside depending on the swell.
