Launch notes

East and ENE winds provide consistent onshore launches with easy access from the sandy beach. The flat water and beginner-friendly conditions make this ideal for launching in moderate winds.

Gear & clothing

Gear · Bring 14-17m kites to maximize light wind days averaging 9.5 kts; a twin-tip or directional board suited for flat water is ideal. Consider a smaller 12m kite for the occasional stronger wind days.

Clothing · A light 2-3mm wetsuit or rashguard is sufficient year-round given the warm Caribbean waters. Sun protection is essential—wear UV rashguards and apply waterproof sunscreen regularly.

Crowd & etiquette

Respect the designated kite zone and yield to swimmers outside this area. Keep communication clear with other kiters during crowded conditions, especially in summer months.

Additional notes

Peak season (June-July) offers the most consistent winds but brings crowds; visit in May or March-April for lighter crowds with similar conditions. Always check local weather forecasts as tropical systems can develop rapidly during hurricane season.
