About This Spot
Playa Blanca is a Colombian Caribbean beach break with a northwest-facing shoreline protected by a shallow lagoon system. The spot features a sandy beach with moderate rocky structure along the coast and visible boat traffic in the nearshore zone. Water conditions are typically light with minimal swell energy, making this primarily a light-wind destination suitable for beginners and recreational kiters. The extremely low wind reliability (0.2%) and marginal average wind speed (4.9 knots) indicate this is not a consistent wind spot. Optimal conditions require northeast winds to achieve side-shore alignment. The shallow lagoon waters provide safety for learning but limit wave riding potential. Best suited for casual sessions during rare stronger wind windows, typically requiring supplementary visits to more reliable spots. Water temperature remains warm year-round (28.6°C). Kiters should be aware of boat activity and verify local access regulations before launching.
