Hazards

Choppy ocean conditions and strong currents require solid intermediate skillsShallow reef areas and underwater obstacles near the beach demand awarenessHeavy tourist boat traffic from nearby resort areas and water sports operatorsSudden wind shifts from multiple directions (SE to NE) can destabilize your ride

Launch notes

Launch from the sandy beach in shallow water; choppy conditions mean expect some turbulence immediately offshore. SE and SSE winds are most consistent; watch for wind shadowing from tall resort buildings along the coast.

Gear & clothing

Gear · Bring 14-17m kites for the modest 10.8kt average wind; a slightly larger quiver helps on lighter days. A directional or twin-tip board works well for choppy, variable conditions.

Clothing · Water temperature averages 78-82°F year-round, so a light spring suit or rash guard is sufficient; consider UPF protection for intense Caribbean sun.

Crowd & etiquette

Stay aware of swimmers and tourist areas—respect designated water sports zones and communicate with other kiters in the crowded main beach area. Keep clear of boat traffic corridors.

Additional notes

Best conditions March-April when trade winds are most reliable; avoid hurricane season (June-November). Check local forecasts regularly as wind direction variability means some days are better than others.
