Ponta do Sino

Ponta do Sino is a curved beach break located on Cape Verde's western coast, facing northeast into the Atlantic Ocean. The spot features a distinctive crescent-shaped sandy beach with resort development along the backshore. Water conditions show reef structure evident from color transitions, with moderate wave exposure typical of exposed Atlantic coastlines. The spot receives consistent trade wind patterns with average wind speeds of 12.4 knots, though reliability is moderate at 55.4%. Side-shore conditions favor northwesterly winds (around 315°), which provide the optimal angle for kitesurfing along this northeast-facing coast. Water temperatures average 23.7°C with waves typically 1.5m. The spot suits intermediate riders comfortable with reef awareness and variable wind conditions. Key considerations include monitoring wind consistency, respecting the nearby resort infrastructure and potential boat traffic, and understanding local current patterns. Rocky formations at the northern point require careful positioning.
