Windsurf off of Isla Margarita
If you’re looking for some reliable, thrilling fun, you may want to test your skills at windsurfing while visiting Isla Margarita. The island is famous throughout the world as being one of the best locations for the sport. In fact, Isla Margarita hosts Professional Windsurfing Association competitions each year. With its favorable geographic location in proximity to a nearby isle creating a consistent side shore wind, and shallow, warm water, the conditions are usually perfect for windsurfing year-round. Generally though, the wind season runs from November until May, with the windiest months being January to March.

On any given day, the warmth of the morning will heat up the atmosphere, causing the winds to pick up in intensity. By mid afternoon, they are usually blowing at their peak. These winds create ripe conditions for all skill levels.

Best Beaches for Windsurfing
Professionals and beginners alike flock to El Yaque Beach, located on the south side of Isla Margarita. The beach is three-quarters of a mile long with side-shore winds. The waters are shallow along the beach out to about 300 yards, making it suitable for beginners. Professionals venture out further to where the waters become rather choppy, with swells up to five feet.

If windsurfing is not for everyone in your family or group, it’s also fun to just sit back on the beach and watch the surfers practicing their tricks and maneuvers!
