Sunny all day. The spot is on the Peruvian coast which never exceeds 15°C of water temperature. So be sure to wear appropriate wetsuits.
Recommended wind for kitesurfing is wind coming from S and SSW .
There is Thermal wind at Mendieta, Peru.
In the low wind season (May to August) you find 15-25 knots. I would say about 70% of the time you find that wind, and another 30% you find 9-14 knots. It can be quite gusty - even sometimes dangerous because it speeds up very fast and gets unpredictable strong (that wind is called Paraca). It's the last resource when there is no wind in Paracas.
Wind usually blows from S and SSW on the spot.
The best moments to come to Mendieta, Peru are January, February, March, April, September, October, November and December .
