Los Molinos (Potrero de Garay)

Los Molinos (Potrero de Garay) is an inland freshwater spot in the Córdoba region where kite and wind sessions are typically powered by afternoon thermal winds. Water conditions are generally described as clean and flat-to-choppy, with a big launch area and easy access suitable for progression and freeride-focused riding. Wind reliability is highest in the spring/summer period, with North and Northeast thermal winds often building into the afternoon. The spot also sees stronger South winds associated with fronts—these can be colder and more gusty, so sessions on the South are typically more demanding than the calmer North/Northeast patterns. Kitesurfing and windsurfing are the main disciplines, while wingfoiling is also actively used thanks to deep water shortly after launch and the generally steady North-driven flow. Typical kiting is associated with NE and S wind directions, and the best months are commonly given as April, May, August, September, and October (with a broader, summer-leaning window of thermals). For safety, the most important cautions are shoreline hazards: rocks in the water near some sections and submerged trees when the reservoir level is high. Local guidance emphasizes checking the current lake level and speaking with local riders before launching, and also following any swimmer/launch-zone rules. Rescue is described as limited and is often managed via school boats rather than a dedicated coastguard.
