Playa Sotavento is a 25 km / 15 mi golden sandy beach and a tidal lagoon, ideal for both novices and experts of windsurfing. During summer months, you will find strong easterly winds on the island. When the wind comes from the Atlantic side, it is offshore. The strongest months are July and August, when the wind blows between 7-9 bf/28-41 kn.
The local weather conditions, the strong northeast wind and the magnificent lagoon, have given Playa Sotavento the reputation of the best windsurfing spot worldwide. The spot, during the highest tide, gives the opportunity to beginner windsurfers to have a great time, as the higher waters fill the lagoon and offer waist deep and very flat waters. For the experienced ones, the other side of the sand bar, the open sea, enables them to perform some jumping tricks.
