Gear & clothing

Gear · Bring 14-17m kites for the 13kt average wind, with a 12m for stronger days. A directional or hybrid board handles the choppy conditions better than a twintip.

Clothing · A 3mm wetsuit is suitable year-round given Honduras' tropical climate; consider a 2mm or rash guard during warmer months (May-September).

Crowd & etiquette

Respect other water users including swimmers and divers; this is a popular tourism destination. Keep a safe distance from rocks and reef zones where locals may be fishing or diving.

Additional notes

July-August offers peak wind (trade winds), but September-October brings hurricane season instability. Check local weather closely and respect the powerful Caribbean currents year-round.
