Exposed to open sea with waves and stronger conditions
Sandy Beach in Cape Verde faces northeast into the Atlantic Ocean, characterized by open ocean conditions with direct swell exposure. The spot experiences consistent trade winds averaging 13.7 knots with 70.7% reliability, typical for the region's winter season. Water conditions show rough chop texture, indicating variable wind and active swell conditions. Best wind direction for side-shore kitesurfing is from the northwest (315°), which aligns reasonably with prevailing conditions. Average wave height of 1.30m provides modest swell, suitable for progression but not extreme. This spot suits intermediate kiters who can handle variable wind patterns and moderate chop. The open ocean setting requires awareness of wind stability and fetch-induced roughness. Conditions are most favorable during peak trade wind season. Kiters should monitor wind direction shifts and understand local current patterns. The location offers good wind reliability despite variable water texture.
