Beach and Tide Conditions
Kitesurfing conditions
do not depend on Tide
on this spot.
Varadero 53rd Street, Cuba is a
Chop and Small waves spot.
The
launching/landing area
is reported to be of
Big size.
The beach is decently wide and very long with little interruption! Soft sand. Some trees and palapas strewn about. Mostly safe - but always look for people/obstacles. Kiteboarding is still pretty rare in Cuba, so you'll draw quite a crowd.
Water is clear and beautiful. Can get choppy with the wind. Some little waves can form, depending on the shape of the sand bar below. Shallow out about 25 meters at low tide, then gradually deeper.

None. Be nice and considerate. The further out on the peninsula you go, the more all-inclusive resorts you'll find, which means more people. 53rd street is closer to the center of Varadero, but the beach is not as popular. A general note on Kitesurfing in Cuba Kitesurfing has a growing scene in Cuba. New spots are being discovered. New riders are taking up the sport. The first few kiteschools are being set up. In general, the kiters I met were incredibly friendly and helpful towards tourists and fellow kiters. But, there is one major problem for Cuban kiters; It is impossible to import or buy any kind of kite equipment in Cuba. Kites, boards, harnesses, pumps, simply everything is in short supply. Because of this local riders and schools are looking to buy any kind of gear. If you?re travelling to Cuba, and have any kind of gear, new or old, you would like to sell, you will really help the local kite scene if you bring it along. You will get a low, but fair price, but more importantly you will really help a stoked crowd keep growing the sport. The same goes for all kite movies and kite magazines
