Punta Preta, sur l'île de Sal: kite spot summary
Located on the West Coast at the South of Sal Island, the Cape Verdean spot of Punta Preta offers one of the most beautiful and fastest waves in the world.
It is an offshore exposed spot that attracts both surfers and experienced kiters and windsurfers. In fact, the wave breaks close to the rocky shore, which means you might get hurt a little (…) and lose your gear in case of a wipe-out…
Pros: world-class wave – mixed atmosphere in the water
Cons: rocky shore – very selective spot
It is easy to access Punta Preta from Santa Maria, either with your rental car or a local taxi.
