Chop inside the reef. Reef out about 600-800m. Fairly choppy, not too smooth. Water is very aqua blue. Could get out onto reef break opposite the ruins with the right conditions and surf waves with 5-6 feet waves out on the reef. In most places the reef is too shallow.
The beach is one of the most beautiful of the Riviera Maya, nice and soft, white sand. Narrow beach with trees and fence close by. No rocks, shells, few peoples, no grass, no concrete, many different entry and exit points.
Best wind in February and March. The wind mostly comes from North, East and South. The average wind speed in winter (November to April) is 17-25 knots and in the summer from 10-16 knots. The worst time is August to December. Perfect for downwind trips to Boca Paila until Punta Allen, with N, NE, E, and SE winds. And incredible ride in front of the Tulum Maya Ruins with E or SE.
No kiting in the beach next to the Mayan ruins. Kiters allowed after Cabanas Paraiso or south of the fisherman's boats. Kite leash required. You can ride upwind or downwind in front of the Mayan pyramids.
If you are looking for a wild night, it is better go back to Playa del Carmen. In Tulum you can always can find something to do, but it is a small and quiet town, more laid back.
07-12-31 Unknown: Very disappointing and very unreliable info!!!In a month(December)I had only 3 decent sessions,the rest of the time very light wind, most of the time onshore, very dangerous for the lack of space( beach depth:less than a kite lines length with barbed wire fence and palm tree just behind it)
06-01-12 Martin: I've been ther in Dec 05. Not too much wind but sufficient. There is a school where you can rent Kites and Boards. The owner Marco is a cool guy, helpful and easy. Mostly there were only 2 or 3 Kites in perfect emerald water. Go there!
05-12-03 mouleman: I have staid there 2 weeks in january 2005 - good wind to make high jumps - not many kiters - one of the place to be on the planet
05-11-04 Marco: I Have been in Tulum to kite and i'm happy to see that there is a new kite school on the beach!!!
the staff is really cool and the condictions are perfect to learn and to have a lot of fun!!!
