Cariló

Cariló is a coastal beach break located on Argentina's Atlantic coast near Mar del Plata, characterized by a northeast-facing sandy shoreline with residential development immediately inland. The spot features a gradual shallow-water zone transitioning to deeper ocean. This is a protected beach environment with dense forest backing, which creates variable wind conditions and frequent wind shadow effects. The spot experiences consistent but modest wave heights averaging 0.90m, making it suitable for lighter-wind days and beginners developing skills. Wind reliability is notably low at 10.7%, indicating extended periods of flat conditions. Side-shore winds from the northwest (315°) provide optimal conditions for controlled kitesurfing. Water temperatures around 15.1°C require appropriate thermal protection. The residential character means crowds are likely, particularly on weekends. This spot suits beginner to intermediate kiters seeking a mellow learning environment rather than advanced progression. Conditions are most predictable during cooler months when Atlantic wind patterns strengthen slightly.
