Secret Spot

This Cape Verde coastal spot faces a northwestern exposure directly to the Atlantic Ocean. The arid, rocky terrain with sparse vegetation indicates a desert coastline typical of the windward side of these islands. The visible white water line shows consistent wave action and energy reaching the shore. The spot consists of open ocean conditions with rocky headlands and shallow reef features visible along the coastline. Water conditions appear rough with moderate fetch from the Atlantic. Wind reliability at 54% suggests variable but consistent trade wind patterns. Average waves of 1.52m indicate moderate swell exposure. The isolated rocky outcrops and reefs create navigation hazards, particularly for less experienced riders. Best conditions occur with northeast or east winds providing side-shore coverage. Water temperature around 23.8°C requires minimal thermal protection. This spot suits intermediate to advanced kiters comfortable with reef hazards, strong currents, and open ocean exposure. Access appears limited due to remote location and rugged terrain. Local knowledge of tidal cycles and current patterns is essential before attempting this break.
