Boa Vista Windsurfing Holiday Overview
Boa Vista, which is Portuguese for Good View is home to some of the most stunningly beautiful beaches on the Cape Verde archipelago, covering a staggering 55km. Most of the accommodations are generously spread out of the West Coast beach, stretching out from the town of Sal Rai over a 10km stretch. When booking a holiday in Boa Vista, it is very important to get the right hotel close to the right windsurf location. This is where we come in. If you book with Planet, we will ensure you get the best location. We also have exclusive access to the most professional and best-located windsurf school on the island.
The Island of Boa Vista has an amazing variety of water conditions, from butter flat spots (perfect for beginners and improvers) to amazing clean waves in other areas, a perfect introduction to wave riding. Our partner, Windsurf and Wingfoil Centre, offers instruction from a boat and rental services using the latest Diatone equipment.
Nightlife here is very low key and quiet with just a scattering of local restaurants and beach bars playing live music; a perfect place to chill out after a hard day on the water!
The Wind And Weather In Boa Vista
Boa Vista windy season is caused when the northern trade winds drop to the southern hemisphere, making Boa Vista a very windy place between October and April. The Cape Verde Islands have the wind which leaves the Canary islands like Fuerteventura for the winter, which is why their seasons are opposite.
Despite the Island being deep in the Atlantic ocean the water is actually quite warm so 3mm shorty is al that is needed, especially in the shallow flat water spot which tends to be warmer than the wave sports
The Nightlife In Boa Vista
The nightlife in Boa Vista revolves mainly around listening to live music, dining out, and relaxing in bars. The night scene is pretty relaxed as the island is not very developed. Dining out in the evening, you can expect to pay between 13 and 20 pounds for a three-course meal with wine. Many restaurants serve fantastic fresh seafood, along with other local specialities.
