Ponta Antonia (Boa Vista)

Ponta Antonia is a remote northeast Boa Vista kitesurf spot best known for steady Northeast trade winds blowing at around 15–25 knots during the prime winter-to-spring months (January through April, plus November/December). Conditions combine a flat, clean inside area with rideable wave sections farther out, making it suitable for riders who want both freeride and wave options in the same session. Hazards are the main limitation. Rocks are reported in the wave section and volcanic rock/reef edges occur around the bay, with additional underwater rocky zones in specific areas. Extra caution is especially important when moving toward the outside, and riders should watch for rocky outcrops at low tide. Strong sun and the remote setting also mean you should prepare as though help may not be immediate. For kite equipment, typical guidance for a 75 kg rider points to the commonly used 9 m and 11 m kite sizes during the core conditions. Reported kitesurfing skill level is intermediate, aligning with the mix of flat water and more challenging outside sections. Winds are described as steady, which generally supports consistent progression and foil/freeride experimentation for capable riders. Logistically, the spot is typically reached from the Sal Rei area, with access commonly involving road connections and, in some cases, off-road tracks. Visitors should plan supplies and safety coverage in advance because there are no services directly at the beach and rescue support is limited; nearest medical facilities are in Sal Rei. Overall, the spot is often described as a secluded, kite-focused destination rather than a mainstream mass-tourism beach.
