Kite Season
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.

The conditions cater to both freestyle enthusiasts and those seeking wave riding experiences.
