Playa Punta Norte
Mexico · Quintana Roo
Playa Punta Norte is located on the north coast of Cozumel, in Quintana Roo, Mexico. It is an ocean-exposed spot with turquoise waters and a fine sandy beach. Riders come here for its easy access from the coastal road and its potential for foil or waves depending on the conditions.
The area is quiet, away from the tourist zones in the south, with a wild atmosphere on the north coast. You encounter few people, perfect for downwinder sessions by boat. The island of Cozumel offers a paradise setting to combine kite and diving.
Access via the north road, parking possible near the beach. It is an authentic place for intermediates and advanced riders looking for space.
Historical averages by month — not a live forecast.
Favorable winds come from the N, NE, E, SE, often side-on or onshore relative to the northeast-facing beach. The water is generally chop to ocean swell, with rolling waves on the shallow sandbar when there is significant swell. The riding area extends over the north bay, wide and deep, ideal for foil due to the constant depth.
Easy launching on sand, but beware of waves on the shallow bar. Takeoff at the edge of the beach, with space to inflate. In case of nortes from October to April, strong north winds, it's great here. Local feature: combine with downwinder boat to other northern spots. Best period November to June, thermal wind reinforced December-May, 60-70% of kiteable days.
For waves, east onshore is perfect, but side-shore for clean riding. Avoid small tides if swell, water conditions more choppy.
