Rocky Point

Rocky Point is a shallow lagoon system on Mexico's Sea of Cortez coast, characterized by extensive mangrove coverage and complex bathymetry. The lagoon faces south toward open water, with multiple narrow channels winding between vegetation islands. The spot receives consistent but weak wind (6.9 knots average), making it suitable primarily for light-wind conditions. Choppy, short-period waves (0.41m average) indicate limited fetch and energy. The extremely low wind reliability (4.1%) suggests this location experiences frequent wind lulls. The dense mangrove environment creates a protected, sheltered setting ideal for beginners learning in controlled conditions, though the vegetation presents significant entanglement hazards. Water depth is highly variable due to tidal influence. Easterly winds provide optimal side-shore conditions. This spot suits very light-wind kiters and beginners seeking shallow, obstacle-filled practice areas. The challenging vegetation and minimal wind make it unsuitable for advancing skills or progression.
