Launch notes
The flat water and sandy/shallow launch area make this beginner-friendly, though you'll need to scout launch zones carefully to avoid rocks and shallow patches. Wind typically funnels from the east and southeast, providing consistent offshore-to-sideshore conditions.
Gear & clothing
Gear · Bring a 15–17m kite to handle the 14 kt average winds effectively; a 12m is useful for stronger days. A twin-tip or small directional board works well in the flat water and allows easy launching from shallow areas.
Clothing · A light 2–3mm wetsuit or rash guard is sufficient year-round, as water temperatures stay warm (75–85°F). Sun protection is essential given the tropical latitude.
Crowd & etiquette
This is a quiet, less-crowded spot; respect any local fishermen and avoid interfering with boat channels. Yield to swimmers and snorkelers in the shallow areas.
Additional notes
Check tide times before launching to ensure adequate depth and safe ground clearance near reefs. The 258+ windy days per year make this a reliably consistent spot, though summer swells from distant storms can occasionally create choppy conditions.
