Praia
Cabo Verde · Sal
Praia à Santa Maria, on the island of Sal in Cape Verde, is a lively beach bordered by the main village. It is a very popular kitesurf spot due to its proximity to amenities and its fine sand stretching for several kilometers.
The beach offers direct access to the sea with conditions suitable for different levels, from beginners to experts. Kite schools are established here and provide regular sessions.
The atmosphere is friendly, with bars and restaurants just steps away for a break after the session.
Medie storiche per mese — non è una previsione live.
The main wind comes from the NE, side-offshore or cross-onshore relative to the east-facing beach, which brings riders back to shore in case of problems. The launch area is a medium-sized sandy beach, but be cautious of the shorebreak that can complicate launching, especially for beginners.
Near the shore, the water is shallow with light chop due to the wind, and it quickly transitions to flat further out. The navigation area extends 3 km along the beach, with enough space even in high season, but care should be taken not to drift towards the crowded school areas.
Launching is done directly on the beach, often assisted by the staff of the centers in the presence of shorebreak. Tides have little influence on the spot, but at low tide, the water remains navigable with standing room near the shore. In case of south swell, waves form further out, ideal for wave riding.
