Lenga

Lenga is a kitesurfing spot located in a sheltered bay near Concepción, Chile, characterized by industrial and commercial development along the coastline. The shore faces northwest toward the water, with the spot situated between industrial port facilities and natural rocky terrain. The bay's enclosed nature provides some protection from open ocean conditions but limits consistent wind access. Average wind speeds of 5.9 knots with low reliability (7.0%) indicate this is a marginal wind location requiring optimal conditions. Wave heights averaging 1.46m suggest modest swell generation. The spot suits intermediate kiters who can work with inconsistent conditions and navigate around industrial infrastructure. Best wind conditions occur from easterly directions (approximately 80°), which provide side-shore conditions relative to the northwest-facing coastline. Kiters should be aware of boat traffic, shallow areas near shore, and the influence of surrounding terrain and industrial structures on wind pattern. Water temperature around 13.3°C requires appropriate thermal protection. This location requires patience and flexibility regarding wind timing.
