Overview

Warm huge lagoon away from the crowd. Stable wind. Flat, choppy or some nice waves. If you fancy a bigger waves and wind direction is good, go on ocean’s side. A real USA – Texas experience! The city itself has many outdoor activities, and plenty of interesting marine wildlife to see. Bring all kite sizes!

Wind

Consistent 15-20 knts. Very consistent thermal wind in summer. Occasionally wind can switch direction which means strong wind 35+ knts.

A hurricane season from August to early October so wind is very unpredictable.

It is your responsability to check whether kitesurfing is allowed at the spot; you might need a 'special permit' or membership from a local kite organization, etc. Local rules can change. Respect others - kiters or not; kite safely and enjoy the wind!
