Mar Azul

Mar Azul is a beach break located on Argentina's Atlantic coast near Mar del Plata, facing northeast toward open ocean. The spot features a sandy beach with organized residential grid immediately inland, indicating a developed coastal community. The water body is the South Atlantic Ocean with direct ocean swell exposure, creating rough-chop conditions typical of this region. The beach appears relatively narrow with limited landside space for setup and landing. This is a straightforward beach break suitable for beginners to intermediate kiters seeking steady conditions rather than extreme performance. Best conditions occur with northwesterly to westerly winds that run side-shore along the coast. The spot receives consistent Atlantic swell but wind reliability is low at 13%, suggesting sessions are weather-dependent. Water temperature averages 15.2°C, requiring thermal protection. Kiters should be aware of the developed shoreline limiting landing zones and approach this spot during forecasted wind windows. The rough-chop conditions and 1.01m average wave height indicate manageable but choppy water requiring appropriate equipment and technique.
