Launch notes
NE and ENE winds are most consistent; launch during rising tide to avoid shallow rocky areas. Choppy conditions mean gradual water entry is essential for safety.
Gear & clothing
Gear · Use 14-17m kites for average 6.8kt winds; bring 12m for stronger SSW/S wind days. A directional board or small wave board handles chop better than a flat-water board.
Clothing · A 3/2mm wetsuit year-round is suitable for tropical water temperatures; use boardshorts in peak summer months (Jan, Dec). Sun protection is critical year-round.
Crowd & etiquette
Respect local fishermen and swimmers; stay in designated kite zones if marked. Share the water courteously during crowded conditions on windy days.
Additional notes
Best window is Aug-Nov when NE trades are most reliable and consistent. Plan sessions around tide changes to optimize launch conditions and safety.
