Sal – Ponta Preta & Kite Beach

Kite Wing Intermediate Advanced

The Atlantic trade wind blows from November to April onto Kite Beach's choppy, open bay, while Ponta Preta on the west side is one of the world's best-known wave spots for kite and windsurf. The water is warm and the island small and easy. Good for intermediate and advanced riders who want waves or long bump-and-jump sessions; beginners can learn at Kite Beach on lighter days.
