About Playa Horizonte

Punta Mogotes is an open beach area and an adjacent neighbourhood located in Mar del Plata, Argentina, some three kilometres (2 mi) south-west of the city's port. The coastline was largely high dunes and a somewhat wild landscape until 1980, when a large compound of resort facilities and paved roads was built right along the beach.

You've already got wind data — the hard part is knowing what it means for you. Most kiters end up checking two, three, four apps and still asking: can I actually go? Breeza was built by a kiter who had the same problem. Feed it your gear, weight and level and it tells you if Playa Horizonte is rideable right now. The answer, not the tabs.
