Kitesurfing at
Boa VistaTRADES NOV -> MAY
Kitesurfing on Boa Vista splits between two zones on the island's west coast: the long Praia de Chaves, with the VOI Praia de Chaves resort standing directly above the launch, and the Estoril–Carlota strip by Sal Rei town with its cluster of schools. Flat near the shore for the first hours, real waves further out for the rest of the week — and 23°C water in the middle of the European winter.

The Kitesurf Camp verdict Winter sun, 23-degree water and trades that blow while Europe shivers. Boa Vista is the family winter escape: flat water close to the sand at Chaves, proper Atlantic waves a few hundred metres out. Off-season June to September — plan around the trades.
