Cape Verde, an archipelago off the northwest coast of Africa, is known by kitesurfing enthusiasts seeking a thrilling blend of tropical beauty and wind-powered adventures. With its pristine beaches, azure waters, and consistent trade winds, Cape Verde offers a haven for riders looking to harness the power of the Atlantic.

The prime kitesurfing season in Cape Verde unfolds from November to June when the northeast trade winds, known as the “Alisios,” sweep across the archipelago. During this period, riders can expect consistent winds ranging from 15 to 30 knots, providing ideal conditions for kitesurfing. The air and water temperatures remain warm, creating a comfortable environment for extended sessions on the water.

As one of the most popular kitesurfing destinations in Cape Verde, Sal Island boasts sandy beaches and reliable winds. Santa Maria bay with its turquoise waters and steady trade winds, is a favorite among riders – Ponta Sino, Albatroz, and Funana. The conditions cater to both freestyle enthusiasts and those seeking wave riding experiences.

Known for its expansive sandy beaches, Boa Vista Island offers diverse kitesurfing opportunities. Spots like Praia de Chaves and Praia de Estoril (Praia Carlota) provide a mix of flat water and waves, creating a dynamic environment for riders of different skill levels.

Cape Verde’s kitesurfing scene is a harmonious fusion of tropical beauty and laid back atmosphere. Whether you’re gliding across the waves of Sal Island, experiencing the tranquility of Boa Vista … The islands boast a mix of African, Portuguese, and Creole heritage, creating a rich tapestry of traditions against the backdrop of volcanic landscapes.
