Puerto de Palos is a small inland lake spot located in Argentina's arid foothills region. The water body sits against mountainous terrain with agricultural land development on the northern shore. The northeast-facing coastline offers limited wind exposure due to surrounding topography, which creates significant wind shadow effects. This is primarily a beginner-friendly location with calm, protected waters suitable for learning basics. However, the extremely low wind reliability (1.5%) and minimal average wind speed (6.1 knots) make consistent kitesurfing challenging. The spot works best during rare weather windows when northwesterly winds align with the coast as side-shore. Water appears shallow in nearshore areas, requiring careful navigation. Agricultural activity and rural infrastructure nearby indicate occasional boat traffic. Best suited for flat-water practice when conditions align, but experienced kiters should seek more reliable locations. Visit during spring months when wind patterns are most predictable.
