Laguna de Chascomús, 120 km south of the capital, gives freshwater flat-to-chop water with roads circling the lake so riders pick a launch by wind direction, rideable November through May. On the coast, Mar del Plata pairs big waves at Playa Grande with intermediate-friendly Chapadmalal, while Necochea, further south, stretches 64 km with a river-mouth break at Quequén for intermediates.

Buenos Aires holds 4 kitesurf spots in our atlas, grouped into 1 destination. Riding here is mostly lagoons and flat water. The season runs January to March. Every spot suits beginners. 4 schools operate in the region.
