Punta Preta sits on the southwest coast of Sal and ranks among the planet's most legendary wing and kite wave spots. Solid Atlantic groundswell wraps onto a reef bottom while the steady NE trades blow side offshore, lining up clean, powerful walls. Conditions favor confident riders who can read reef sections and handle real ocean. The reef shows at low tide, so timing the swell window matters here.
“Launch from the rocky beach just north of the peak and walk down with rigged gear. Best on mid to high tide when the inside reef covers up. NE trades push you cross offshore, so check your downwind exit before you commit. Santa Maria is a 10 minute drive for repairs, food and rentals.”
