Laguna Garzon

Laguna Garzon is a shallow lagoon separated from the Atlantic Ocean by a sandy barrier beach in southeastern Uruguay. The lagoon opens to the ocean through a well-defined inlet marked by the circular structure visible in the satellite image, which facilitates water exchange. The coastline orientation toward the northeast exposes the lagoon to moderate Atlantic swell, while the sheltered lagoon interior provides calmer conditions compared to open ocean breaks. Best wind direction is from the northwest (315°), which provides ideal side-shore conditions parallel to the beach. The lagoon's shallow, sandy bottom makes it suitable for beginners and intermediate riders seeking lighter wind conditions and forgiving falls. Low average wind reliability (1.8%) suggests this spot requires patience and selective session planning. Kiters should monitor tidal cycles, as water depth and inlet currents vary significantly. The proximity of infrastructure and road access provides convenient entry and exit points. Summer months (December-February) typically offer more favorable wind patterns than the cooler season shown in weather data.
