Historical averages by month — not a live forecast.
The beach in La Ventana is oriented east, making it a perfect spot for side-on to side-shore winds coming from the northeast or east, typical of the region. The water surface is generally flat to chop during the day, ideal for freeride, freestyle, or learning, with wide areas to navigate without hassle.
Launching is easy and direct from the sandy beach, with no rocks or major obstacles, and the launch area is spacious in front of centers like Playa Central. You can ride several kilometers offshore in the protected bay of the Sea of Cortez, but stay south of the main spot to avoid more exposed areas.
Sessions often last all day thanks to the thermal that picks up strength in the afternoon. Be cautious of gusts in the morning wind entry; the best runs are between 11 AM and 5 PM when the wind stabilizes at 15-25 knots.
