Lora

Lora is a small coastal lagoon on Cuba's northern coast, characterized by shallow, protected waters separated from the open ocean by a natural sandy barrier. The spot features an enclosed lagoon system with sparse vegetation and sandy/muddy bottom typical of Caribbean coastal formations. Water conditions are predominantly flat with minimal wave action, making this unsuitable for wave-riding but potentially viable for flat-water freestyle. The extremely low wind reliability (0.3%) and modest average wind speed (6.1 knots) present significant challenges for consistent kitesurfing sessions. Best conditions occur with northwesterly winds that blow side-shore across the lagoon opening. The shallow, enclosed nature of the water makes it suitable primarily for beginners seeking light-wind practice in protected conditions, though consistent wind is rarely available. Kiters should be aware of shallow areas, vegetation obstacles, and the limited space for maneuvers. This spot is better suited for light-wind progression rather than regular session location due to wind scarcity and minimal wave development.
