Country Club (Cozumel)

Cozumel Country Club is a small, sandy launch area in the north of Cozumel that’s known primarily for kitesurfing. Sessions are built around clear, shallow water with a mix of chop, which supports both freeriding and trick practice while still requiring riders to manage the near-shore shallows. Wind is most consistent during winter and spring when cold fronts (“Nortes”) push through. The best wind direction is from the north, and strong sessions are typically seen when the wind is steady and side-onshore. Light afternoon sea breezes can occur, but reliability is higher with frontal systems rather than heat-driven wind alone. The launch environment is the main challenge: the beach is narrow with limited room to rig and launch, and there are nearby hazards around the waterline such as the stone mole/jetty. Currents can also become noticeable when the wind is strong from the north, so careful positioning and respect for designated swimming areas matter. For water comfort, conditions are warm year-round (with cooler water mainly in winter), and a shorty is commonly useful from about December through February. Overall, the best season for wind and sessions is generally from December to May, with the wetter, more variable period running roughly from June to October.
