Laguna de Chapala is Mexico's largest freshwater lake, located in the central highlands near Guadalajara. This spot represents an inland water body with limited wind exposure and fetch characteristics typical of large lakes. The southern shoreline faces the expansive water body, creating a fetch-limited environment with shallow areas and aquatic vegetation throughout. While the calm, protected conditions might seem ideal for beginners, the critical limitation is wind availability—with average winds of only 3.7 knots and 0% reliability, this spot is practically unsuitable for kitesurfing. Wind directions favoring east/west would theoretically provide side-shore conditions parallel to the shoreline. The lake's enclosed nature, visible mangrove areas, and shallow zones present obstacles and safety concerns. This location would only be viable during rare strong wind events, making it unreliable for regular kitesurfing sessions. Experienced local knowledge of seasonal wind patterns would be essential.
