The Club Mistral centre is located directly in front of the Belorizonte Hotel right on the superb, endless beach of Santa Maria on the island of Sal. We have by far the best location in the bay of Santa Maria, because it offers the finest of sandy beach and boundless space. You will find all kinds of amenities, ranging from lots of room, a boutique, to the Atlantis bar/restaurant and an internet cafe doubling as an ice-cream parlour.

The bay is at the southern end of the island of Sal and the long, fine-grained sandy beach extends over more than 4 kilometers. Due to their position within the winter trade-wind belt, the Cape Verde Islands boast perfect windsurfing conditions from October to June.

The location is extremely varied: in front of the centre, the water is a little choppy with a slight shorebreak. If the shorebreak becomes somewhat stronger, the team will help you carry your material in and out of the water. Sail past the jetty from here, in-between a number of small fishing boats, and you will enter the Santa Maria speed track, where you can blast away to your heart's content or gybe through the turquoise water. Further out, there is a swell for wave novices. The cross-offshore or sideshore wind from the left allows effortless upwind sailing to the various sections of the beach. From the Club Mistral centre, you can reach two fantastic wave spots directly from the flat-water section: Ponta Leme upwind, and Ponta Sino downwind. They offer every opportunity for you to let off steam in the waves.

Once a week, we organize windsurfing excursions for wave freaks to the island's other wave spots.
