Always good winds, since the wind gets funneled. The Zonda wind blows from the Pacific Ocean, over the Andes Mountains, into the northwest of Argentina. It brings large differences in temperatures and can reach speeds of 120 kilometers per hour. The Zonda wind is infamous for its ruthlessness and is known to drive people crazy. In the morning, the waters are calm, offering the possibility of kayaking or swimming. But from noon on, the waters belong to the surfers. As the Zonda Wind increases by the hour, the higher a level of skill for windsurfing and kitesurfing on the Cuesta del Viento is demanded. The best wind speeds are reached between mid-October and early May.
