La Costanera de Martínez is a grass park on the coast of the Río de la Plata, in San Isidro, with the river open towards the northeast. Kiters and wingers set up their gear on the grass, about 40 m from the shore, and enter the water through the clearings in the reed bed that borders the coast. The wind that works best is the sudeste, side-offshore, with 15 to 25 kt and especially from September; the este also comes in, blowing onshore. The pampero, from the southwest, and thermal winds blow offshore and are dangerous: they take you away from the coast and there is nowhere to return. The water is choppy and shallow, with little current, and the river is polluted. There are nautical routes more than 1 km from the coast and many people on the grass at weekends. There is free public parking about 190 m south, next to the playground, and the restaurants Kite Beach and Malloy's about 330 m away. There are no showers; the nearest chemical toilets are about 640 m to the southeast. The photos and video are provided by the person who created the spot.
