Puerto

Puerto is located in the Río de la Plata estuary near La Plata, Argentina, where freshwater river systems meet tidal zones. The spot is a protected bay with multiple marinas and port infrastructure. The coastline faces northeast toward the water, with a marina development occupying the southern portion and industrial facilities to the south. The shallow bay waters and marina layout create a protected environment, though commercial shipping and boat traffic are significant considerations. Wind from the northwest would be ideal side-shore conditions. The spot experiences low wind reliability (6.7%) and modest wave heights (1.27m average), making it more suitable for consistent wind sessions rather than swell-dependent kitesurfing. The shallow bay bottom and marina obstacles make this primarily a beginner spot for kiters seeking flat-water freestyle practice rather than wave riding. Water temperatures average 14.6°C, requiring a wetsuit year-round. Local knowledge is essential due to commercial port operations and varying current patterns from river discharge.
