The winter months (Nov to April) are the prime-time for the windsurfing season in Colombia.
The Caribbean trade winds are in full effect and waves get pushed towards the coast of Colombia.
In November 2010 a cold front that passed through Cartagena, Colombia generated some excellent waves and wind which were enjoyed by Colombian surfers, bodyboarders and windsurfers.
Check out the beautiful Cartagena wave in this video:
Playa Render is a beach about 35 to 40 minutes from downtown Cartagena.
