The Reef (RV Park)

The Reef (RV Park) is a wide sandy beach launch in Rocky Point where kitesurfers commonly use the afternoon thermal sea breeze. Winds are typically side-onshore from the south and southwest sector (SE through SW), with a light-gust feel and a medium level of reliability—ideal for freeride and foil styles when the thermal is up. The spot’s biggest operational factor is the tide. Large tidal swings can significantly change how much water is available for launching and riding, with the usable area fluctuating noticeably in front of the RV park. Expect chop and small waves in general, and also plan for tidal currents—especially near the rocky point and during larger tidal exchanges. For safety, the area includes specific solid hazards close to where riders may drift: a mole/jetty and rocks/reef sections, particularly toward the northwest end. On a SW breeze, drifting too far downwind can put you into the rockier northwest area. Session planning should therefore include tide checks and conservative route choices (stay windward/within your upwind return plan). Facilities are close by, with the on-site restaurant/bar located at the spot and practical conveniences like showers, toilets, parking, and camping. Rescue support specific to water sports is not present on-site, so riders should go in properly geared and rely on local medical services in Puerto Peñasco if needed.
