La Ticla

La Ticla is located at a river delta on Mexico's Pacific coast where a significant river meets the ocean. The spot features a south-facing shoreline with characteristic delta morphology—sand deposits, river channels, and a shallow lagoon system visible in the upper portion. The protected waters create a lagoon-like environment despite ocean exposure. With average winds of only 3.8 knots and zero reliability, this spot experiences inconsistent wind conditions typical of tropical coastal areas. Wave heights average 1.4m, offering gentle conditions. The shallow water and sandy bottom make this suitable for beginners learning kite control, though the low wind means sessions require waiting for favorable windows. The river mouth creates complex current patterns and shifting sandbars that require local knowledge. The spot works best during wind events when easterly or westerly breezes develop; during calm periods, it offers little value for kitesurfing. Nearby village infrastructure provides access. Best suited for beginners in light wind conditions with patience for variable weather.
