Wind at Kite Beach
Cross-onshore trade winds, flatter water inside the reef and waves out on it.
The spot
Good for every level
Kite Beach has cross-onshore trade winds. The water is flatter inside the reef, and there are waves out on the reef, so it works for beginners and for experienced riders.
The kite schools are just across the main road from the apartments. Samuela and Joselito's favourites are Cabarete Kite Point and Kite Beach Watersports Centre, and both teach kite lessons.
