Amenities

Hazards

Strong ocean currents and occasional rip tides in the Caribbean watersShallow areas with seagrass and rocky patches requiring careful navigationLimited wind consistency with only 14 windy days per year; many days below 9 knotsBoat traffic from local fishing and tourism vessels

Launch notes

Launch from the sandy beach during NW to N winds which are most consistent. Flat water conditions make this ideal for beginners, though the low average wind speed means patience is required—scout conditions early in the day when thermals may strengthen.

Gear & clothing

Gear · Use larger kites in the 15-17m range due to the light average wind of 9 knots; a directional or hybrid board works well for flat water progression. Consider bringing a smaller kite (12m) for marginal wind days when conditions are weaker.

Clothing · A light 2-3mm spring suit or rash guard is suitable for Caribbean waters year-round; air and water temperatures remain warm (75-82°F) throughout the season. UV protection is essential due to strong equatorial sun exposure.

Crowd & etiquette

Respect local fishing communities and avoid launching during peak fishing hours. Keep clear of swimming areas and communicate with other water users, as the spot is not heavily developed for tourism.

Additional notes

Plan your trip around the peak season (January-April) when wind is most reliable; visiting during off-season months may result in minimal riding days. This is an emerging spot best suited for beginners seeking flat water practice in a laid-back, underdeveloped environment.
