Most kiteboarders that make the trek south to the sun-filled, sandy beaches of Mexico head to the usual hotspots like La Ventana or Playa del Carmen. However, the best sessions often happen off the beaten path. If you’re ready to explore a more authentic side of Mexico, you’ll love the quiet beaches, steady breeze, and local vibes in Progreso.
This hidden gem in the Yucatan is skimpy on all-inclusive resorts and wild parties, but chock-full of friendly locals, rich history, and incredible nature – both above the ground and below. It's easy to forget just how big Mexico is… But to give you a sense of the vastness of this country, we're way out east on the Yucatan peninsula, about 1,800 miles east of La Ventana and a few hours west of Cancun.
As a kiteboarder, Progreso may not have made it across your radar. We had no clue what to expect from this spot until we began planning our trip to visit Angel and the team at Yuckite - the local kiteboarding school. That said, we went and collected as much intel as we could to share with you!
Here’s everything you need to know to get you started on your trip to Progreso – starting with the kite spot details followed by some travel tips to help you make the most of your trip.

KITESURFING PROGRESO BEACH - MERIDA - MEXICO
One of the best spots I have kitesurfed so far...
Even though it was July and the season for best winds is between November and June, I was lucky enough and enjoyed some light thermal winds and its turquoise and shallow waters....plus being mostly a flat spot, it makes it perfect for having an easy and smooth Caribbean freeride.
Will definitely come back one day!

Angel and his professional instructors team will be more than happy to help you with your requests.

Kitesurfing Trip Mexico Yucatan by Ocho Tulum kite school
North Yucatan Kiteboarding Trip
How to describe a Kite Trip to Yucatan?
In the winter, let´s say that when you looking for that extremely windy session and when you think about using a 7 to 10m2 kite, it s the kite surfing trip you need. Between Novembers to May, the wind will blow from North very strong on the Yucatan coast. You will be kiting with an average wind pushing from 15 to 35 knots and some day even more.
In the summer, the Yucatan coast is the only area in Mexico where you can still kite board with a proper wind. Between May to September, you will get an average of wind between 12 to 20 knots.
The Yucatan is well known for its capital city Merida and its Hacienda, but the coast still unknown and out of the tours operators routes, so you will find yourself in the authentic Mexican culture out of the massif touristic infrastructure. You will drive by little pueblos where the time notion is lost. In this region, most people live of fishing or of growing whatever that can survive in this dry area. The restaurants, bars and hotels offer great deals for the joy of the riders that can take the most of their after kitesurf session. This Mexico kitesurfing vacation is unique; great wind condition, empty beaches, authentic Mexican culture and good food.
Let´s follow the wind in an itinerant kiteboarding Trip on the Yucatan coast. Come with Mexico Kan Tours and take advantage of the cheapest deal for Mexican Kitesurfing Trip

Actually this video was recorded on the worst season of the year. The wind season in Puerto progreso is between 8 to 10 months every year and the wind is normally between 17 and 22 knots. Great place for kiting. Hope you enjoy my video.
