About This Spot
La V is a sheltered bay located on Colombia's Caribbean coast, characterized by shallow, turquoise waters and a developed residential waterfront. The bay faces northwest with a curved coastline featuring multiple man-made jetties and breakwaters that provide wind protection but create navigational complexity. The spot consists of relatively flat water typical of enclosed bays, with minimal swell generation due to limited fetch. Wind reliability is extremely low at 1.3%, and average wind speeds of 5.4 knots suggest this location experiences weak, inconsistent wind patterns for most of the year. This spot is best suited for absolute beginners or light-wind practitioners when conditions align. Side-shore winds from the northeast offer the safest approach. Kiters should be aware of shallow water zones, submerged structures, and the numerous jetties that fragment the usable area. The developed coastline indicates moderate boat traffic. This location is challenging for serious kitesurfing due to low wind consistency and limited space.
Hazards & Safety
Shallow water areas within bay
Multiple jetties and breakwaters creating obstacles
Boat traffic in deeper water zones
Submerged structures visible as dark patches
Limited fetch distance due to bay enclosure
Residential infrastructure near shoreline
