Last weekend it blew hard. Not many kiters and even less people on the beach. The police had a check point set up coming into town and not letting non-residents without Covid tests/vaccinations come through.

The San Carlos kiteboarding report is mostly about wind, kite boarding, beaches and bikinis in San Carlos, Sonora, Mexico and a few other places. Lots of photos and up to date reports of all the beach action. If you would like to contact me directly about kiting in San Carlos or about kite boarding instruction, my email is: kite420@gmail.com (Donald)

This past week the wind has been wimpy. Here is Julie getting as much as she can out of the wind. On a positive note, the water has been wonderfully flat.
More days with strong wind than days without wind. It's been good. Lots of 20 to 25 knot afternoons. Usually mellows out after 4:00pm or so. Water seemed to be warming up a couple of weeks ago but then it cooled off again and is in the low 60's right now.
Most days there are only a few of us out on the water.
Last week ended with some good wind. They took the fence down on Friday that was keeping us from driving to the end of the beach. After a few days of rest the wind came back but so did some clouds and the wind has struggled to get up to 20 knots. The fence also came back. What?
They've been getting ready to open a new bar business next to Soggy Peso and I assumed that they were opening up access for parking for it. But today they put a new fence up. Doesn't make much sense to me so we'll have to wait and see what they have in mind.
We continue having more days with wind than not. Often it starts out strong and gusty but evens out as the day goes on. It's looking a little bit lighter today, maybe 18 to 20 knots. I could use the break. The gusty and choppy days wear me out. I can't seem to bring myself to depower the kite. 😂
Nice warm day with strong wind. At times it was gusty but when the wind was clean it was great. Here is Othon doing his thing - getting big air.
It's been a while since I last posted anything but I'm going to try to get it going again.
Yesterday was cloudy and the wind was okay but Sunday should be great. It was quiet on the beach and on the water. Here is Julie catching a little air.
