The best wind direction for windsurfing is side-shore to side-onshore, which means the wind is blowing parallel to the shore or slightly towards the shore at an angle between 0 and 45 degrees.

Side-shore winds create clean, well-formed waves that are ideal for wave riding. The consistent wind direction allows windsurfers to maintain speed and control while navigating the waves. Additionally, side-shore winds make it easier for windsurfers to stay close to the shore, enhancing safety and allowing for quick returns to the beach if necessary.

When the wind direction shifts slightly onshore (side-onshore), it can provide an extra push for windsurfers to gain speed and launch off waves for aerial maneuvers. However, if the wind becomes too onshore, the waves may become choppy and less suitable for windsurfing.
