Overview

Chicxulub is a spot on the north coast of the Yucatan, on the Gulf of Mexico. North winds (Nortes) and east trade winds blow regularly, creating flat water conditions on a shallow body of water. The shallow depth and absence of significant waves make it a spot accessible to beginners, in a quiet coastal setting.
