Kitesurfing and wing foil conditions at Coco Beach
Our home spot is a wide bay protected by two outer reefs: the water is mostly flat or lightly choppy, and on the rare days with bigger swell we get small, clean waves breaking on the reef. The main kite season in Playa del Carmen runs from November to May.
As a guide, kitesurfing needs about 10 knots of wind or more; the right range depends on your weight and the kite size. Our instructors check the station and the forecast every day and adapt your lesson. No wind, no charge: we reschedule your lesson.
Use this live data together with forecasts such as Windguru or Windy: the forecast tells you what is expected, the station shows what is actually blowing at the beach.
