South Padre Island is a barrier Island along the gulf coast of Texas, about 100 miles south of Corpus Christi. The endless miles of shallow water of the Lagua Madre make South Padre Island a world class spot for learning to kiteboard. April-June and Oct thru mid Dec. are usually warm, windy and a perfect time to come down to South Padre Island. The wind usually blows all winter, however, Jan and Feb can be cooler. And March is spring break, which may be a benifit or not depending on wether the collegiate crowds bother you. Summer is usually hot, July is often good wind with August being the lowest wind on average.
