Dorado

Dorado is a developed coastal beach break on Puerto Rico's northern shore, facing north toward the Atlantic Ocean. The area features a sandy beach backed by residential communities and a golf course, with visible reef formations in the nearshore waters. The spot experiences modest wave conditions (averaging 1.09m) with very low wind reliability at 2.2%, making it marginal for dedicated kitesurfing. Average wind speeds of 7.3 knots are borderline for the sport and would primarily suit lighter-weight kiters. The northerly coastline orientation makes easterly and westerly winds most suitable for side-shore conditions. Shallow water near the beach and reef hazards require careful navigation. This location is better suited to beginners during the occasional strong wind events rather than as a consistent training destination. The developed nature of the surrounding area may limit launch and recovery options. Water temperature averaging 26.9°C remains warm year-round. Overall wind and wave statistics suggest this spot has limited reliability for regular kitesurfing sessions.
