Hazards

Choppy ocean conditions with unpredictable wave patterns require careful navigation and strong board controlStrong currents common in this coastal area can push riders offshore; maintain awareness of driftShallow reef areas near shore present collision risks; scout the launch zone before entering waterUrban proximity means occasional boat traffic and swimmers during peak tourist seasons

Launch notes

Launch from the beach with care in choppy conditions; use the consistent E-SE winds to your advantage when entering the water. Avoid launching during mid-tide when currents are strongest.

Gear & clothing

Gear · Pack 12-15m kites for the moderate 10.8kt average winds; bring both a freestyle/wave board and a larger freeride board to adapt to choppy conditions. A responsive directional board handles chop better than twin-tips.

Clothing · Wear a 2-3mm wetsuit during cooler months (Nov-Feb) and a rash guard or 1mm suit during summer; Caribbean water stays warm year-round. Sun protection is essential given strong tropical UV exposure.

Crowd & etiquette

Respect the popular tourist beach by staying in designated riding zones away from swimmers and paddleboarders. Yield to other kiters already on the water and communicate launch intentions clearly.

Additional notes

June-July offers the most consistent wind at 85 windy days annually, making it ideal for progression. Check local conditions daily as choppy water can vary significantly; early morning sessions typically offer smoother conditions.
