Trade wind
at Isla Margarita / El Yaque, Venezuela.
Nice wind in the mornings picking up during the day. At midday it´s blowing, at 15:00 it´s epic, at 17:00 it´s decreasing a bit. Gusty winds close to the beach, further out less gusty. Almost every day there´s wind. Some months are 100% with more than 4Bf every day. Always sideshore from the left (East). Best time for kiting in El Yaque is from October to the end of July. During the months of February to May, wind can be very strong and a bit more gusty from midday on. Such days are perfect to explore some of the other spots around Margarita. From August to the end of September our wind gets often interrupted for one or more days by tropical depressions approaching the Caribbean. The windy days are then blessed with very constant wind but require generally bigger kites.

The most relaxed way of kiting: Take the shuttle (boat) to the kitebeach further upwind, start from there and sail outside in the swell or enjoy a nice long downwinder back to El Yaque. Here you can land right at the windward side of the beach in front of a kite center, the only place upwind from the windsurf area, and the only place where you can legally start and land your kites all day long. In the windsurf area, downwind from this center and in front of the hotels you are allowed to enjoy kiteboarding before 9:30am and after 5:30pm. This restriction is a rule all windsurf and kiteboarding clubs set up together in order to ensure safety for all beach and water users. Other spot with beautiful condition at 15 minutes boat distance like Coche Island or Cubagua Island.
