Overview

Vaayu Goa is a kitesurfing center and spot located in the Mandrem/Ashwem beach area of North Goa, India. Situated between Arambol to the north and Morjim to the south, this stretch of coast faces west toward the Arabian Sea. The spot benefits from the same NW monsoon winds that serve all of North Goa's kite beaches.

The kitesurf season runs from October to March when consistent northwest winds blow cross-shore along this west-facing coastline. Wind speeds typically range from 12 to 18 knots. The beach offers a mix of flat water and small waves, with the conditions varying based on tide and swell. The kite school provides equipment rental and instruction, making it accessible for beginners while also offering good conditions for experienced riders.
