Bucerías
Bucerias Beach, in the central area of Bucerías in Nayarit, Mexico, is a popular spot for local kiters due to its reliable thermal wind in season. The long sandy beach is lined with restaurants and offers a relaxed atmosphere with views of the surrounding mountains.
It is an ideal place for freeride and downwinders to La Cruz de Huanacaxtle, just an hour from Puerto Vallarta. Sessions often start around noon to take advantage of the peak wind in the late afternoon.
The spot attracts riders of all levels thanks to its medium-sized launch area and accessible water.

Location
Detailed information
The spot has an onshore to side-on orientation with wind mainly coming from the west or southwest, ideal for easy launching on the medium-sized sandy beach. The navigation area is wide in the center, but the beach is narrow in places, with choppy water and small waves of less than a meter.
Take-offs and landings are done directly on the beach, but care must be taken regarding the presence of swimmers and walkers. Conditions do not depend on tides, and the thermal wind increases in strength between 1pm and 6pm, allowing for sessions until sunset.
For downwinders, it is common to start from La Cruz de Huanacaxtle to return to Bucerias, with runs of about two hours. The bottom is sandy and the water clear, perfect for freeride.
