Café del Mar

Café del Mar is located in a sheltered bay on Colombia's Caribbean coast, characterized by protected lagoon systems and urban development. The spot sits within a developed coastal town with multiple water bodies including harbors and internal lagoons separated by manmade structures. The northwest-facing coastline offers protection from open ocean swell but limits wave development. Wind conditions are extremely light with only 1.3% reliability and 5.4 knot average, making consistent riding difficult. Wave heights average 0.87m in light swell conditions, suitable only for flat-water skill building rather than progression. The area experiences urban boat traffic and has shallow zones requiring careful navigation. Best wind arrives from the northeast, running parallel to the coast. This spot suits absolute beginners seeking flat-water practice in warm, protected conditions, but experienced kiters should expect frequent disappointment due to minimal wind and wave resources. The setting prioritizes safety over challenge.
