From mid-October to April/May, La Ventana offers great conditions for a Baja California windsurfing vacation: warm water, good wind, and a variety of sailing sites well-suited to anyone from beginning water starters to freestyle experts. The north wind here is more consistent than other Baja locations due to the Venturi effect created by Cerralvo Island and the thermal suction from the rising hot air from the desert peninsula.

The wind usually starts late morning, light at first; and typically building to 15-25 mph in the afternoon. It usually blows for several hours a day with calm mornings and evenings for other activities or relaxing.There are also the  epic days of the big Nortes; these days are peppered throughout the season and provide great high-wind sailing and swell for those who are up to it.

During the months of December, January, and February you probably want a full suit with short sleeves (3mm/2mm), especially if you get cold easily. Fo early and late season sailing a shorty or spring suit is fine. Bring gloves, booties and a helmet if you want them for sailing or kiting.
