Isla Margarita - Windsurfing Conditions
There are two things that stand out about Margarita. Consistent side shore winds from left and
shallow water. The winds generally blow all year. The wind season is from November till May.
The windiest time is from January to March, the least windy from August to October. Even in
the least windy times, you would expect planing conditions for almost half of your holiday.
The wind is also strong and in Spring you can hope to use a small board and rigs below 5m. The
wind usually builds up during the day, peaking in mid afternoon. You can have planing conditions
all day...
The sea and air are warm in Margarita all year round. You can sail in shorts and bare feet.
It is advisable to wear a rash vest and gloves, especially to start with. The warm water makes
even tough hands blister. Some windsurfers have been know to finish their holiday using toilet
paper wrapped round their hands with duct tape or use superglue! The conditions in Margarita
make it suitable for all abilities, from beginner to expert. It is ideal for slalom blasting,
chop hopping, learning and improving gybing, some of the world tops Freestlye sailors come here
to train in the winter, and it was home to world champion Ricardo Campello.
