Question 1

When is the best time to kiteboard in Corpus Christi?

Accepted Answer

The prime season is May through September, when reliable SE thermal winds blow 17-21 mph almost daily — Corpus Christi is one of the most consistently windy places in the U.S. Cold fronts from fall through spring bring strong NW, N and NE winds that open up spots like Port Aransas, A&M Beach and Fish Pass.

Question 2

What are the best kiteboarding spots for beginners in Corpus Christi?

Accepted Answer

Portland (Wildcat) and Sunset Lake are the top beginner spots. Wildcat has a shallow, knee-to-waist sandy bottom with flat water behind a sandbar, and Sunset Lake is a protected, easy-access flat-water spot ideal for learning new tricks.

Question 4

Which Corpus Christi spots work on a cold front (north wind)?
