Barra del Tordo is a lagoon system on Mexico's Gulf Coast facing eastward toward the open water. The spot features extensive shallow lagoons with tidal channels, mangrove areas, and sandbars. Multiple meanders create protected water bodies separated from the Gulf by a narrow barrier beach. The sheltered lagoon environment limits wind exposure and wave development, with average waves only 0.93m. Wind reliability is very low at 4.9%, indicating this is a marginal wind spot that requires specific weather windows. The shallow, obstacle-rich environment with mangroves and channels makes navigation challenging and limits maneuverability. Best conditions occur with northerly winds providing side-shore flow. This spot suits beginners due to minimal wave action and protected waters, but only during rare wind events when conditions align. Kiters should be aware of tidal influences affecting water depth and current strength, plus numerous shallow areas and vegetation that restrict riding zones. Local knowledge of channel navigation is essential.
