About This Spot
Salguero is located on Colombia's Caribbean coast within a protected bay formation. The spot consists of a gently shelving sandy/muddy bottom with industrial development to the north and residential areas to the east. The coastline faces northwest into the bay waters. This is a flat-water kitesurfing spot with minimal wave activity, making it suitable for freestyle and light-wind practice. The reported 0% wind reliability and average 4-knot conditions suggest highly variable and often insufficient wind for kitesurfing. Best conditions would require winds from the northeast (side-shore), though prevailing patterns may not reliably provide this. The spot is sheltered by the bay configuration, which reduces fetch and wave development but also limits consistent wind. The presence of industrial facilities, boats, and shallow areas with potential hazards requires careful navigation. Better suited for beginners due to flat water, though wind scarcity is the primary limitation. Recommended for practicing light-wind technique rather than as a primary session location.
