Lagito (Chame)

Lagito (on the road to Punta Chame) is a kitesurfing-focused flat-water lagoon setup with a small sandy beach and shallow sand-bottom riding areas shaped by the tide. The launch area is described as easy, with a spacious grassy landing/launch area plus a beach zone that changes significantly with water level. Currents inside the lagoon are described as mild, and there is no notable shore break reported. The wind is dominated by N to NE trade winds (Alisios), typically steady at around 15–25 knots. The best months are January through April, with December also included, and the wind reliability is described as high during the dry season. For kitesurfing, the most common kite range is typically 9–12 m, with smaller/larger sizes mentioned as occasional options depending on conditions. Safety is mainly about time-of-day and tide: stingrays are reported in the sand at low tide. Practical guidance includes shuffling your feet when entering the water and checking tide charts because the lagoon can dry out completely at extreme low tide, leaving more limited options than at mid-tide. Driftwood/rays in the sand are also noted, and riders are advised to respect any designated teaching zones set up by local schools. Overall, Lagito is positioned as a strong learning and freestyle spot thanks to its protected, flatter lagoon water compared with more choppy sections nearby within the same Punta Chame area. Recommended session planning is to match the tide to your depth/terrain needs and to rely on the steady winter/spring wind window for the most consistent conditions.
