North Point (Bazaruto Island)

North Point on Bazaruto Island is a remote, nature-rich kitesurfing location inside the Bazaruto Archipelago National Park. The water is described as crystal-clear with a lagoon setting: you’ll commonly find shallow, flat-to-choppy conditions with small-to-medium waves on the windward side. Wind is strongly shaped by the Southeast Trade Wind pattern, with NE and SE directions consistently highlighted as the best for kitesurfing. Typical on-water wind is often reported in the 12–25 knot range, with relatively steady conditions. Seasonal peaks align with the drier trade-wind months, while the broader year also includes strong NE/SE periods from late summer into early winter. Tide and currents are the main practical constraints at North Point. Channels between islands can carry strong tidal currents, which may challenge beginners—self-rescue can be difficult in this environment. The lagoon areas can also become too shallow or exposed around dead low tide, so planning your session around tidal timing is essential. Overall, riders come for the combination of clear water, open sandy launch space, and the mix of flat-water riding plus occasional small-to-medium wave action. Rescue services are limited and primarily supported by private resort fleets, so safety gear and conservative choices matter.
