Today´s Forecast
hjjhg
The wind line comes
in like clockwork.
The Wind Machine
In between the La Ventana town and the Cerralvo Island there is a funnel where the north winds squeeze in between, providing La Ventana with a sideshore daily wind.
More importantly, there is also a wind thermal generated from the desert plains just south of the bay, which usually DOUBLES the forecasted windspeed. From October to April you can kite 20 days a month on average.
The L shape bay works as a catcher´s mitt for beginner kiteboarders, since one can just do downwinders and end up on a sandy beach. The wind is the same direction, same speed (usually 18, 20 knots), same beach, and almost every day.
For people wanting to improve their kiteboarding quickly, La Ventana is your dream kitespot.
