About This Spot
Playa Isla de la Piedra is a beach break located on Mexico's Pacific coast, featuring a south-facing sandy beach with a distinctive rock formation in the nearshore waters. The spot experiences consistent thermal characteristics with warm water (24.9°C) typical of tropical Pacific locations. The coastline orientation toward the south means easterly winds provide the optimal side-shore condition for kitesurfing. However, this location presents significant limitations: wind reliability is extremely poor at 0.1%, making sessions infrequent and unpredictable. Average wave heights of 0.90m are minimal for most kitesurfing applications. The visible rock outcrop in the bay requires careful navigation and presents an obstacle hazard. The spot is suitable primarily for beginners during rare wind windows, as the weak and inconsistent conditions limit progression opportunities. Water conditions appear relatively protected by the bay configuration, which reduces fetch distance and contributes to small wave development. Best sessions would occur during seasonal wind patterns that align with easterly directions.
