Overview

El Molino is a kitesurfing spot located in San Isidro, on the banks of the Rio de la Plata, in the northern area of Buenos Aires. This urban spot is very popular with local kitesurfers for its easy access from the capital. The estuarine water area offers flat water conditions with southeast winds (Sudestada) and north winds. The water is shallow, making it a relatively safe spot for intermediate riders. The proximity of several spots (Spirit Kite Beach, El Aguila Club, Peru Beach) allows choosing based on wind direction.
