The flat water and sandy beach provide ideal launching conditions for beginners. SE to NE winds are most consistent; launch towards the northeast to utilize the steadiest wind patterns.

Gear & clothing

Gear · Use 14-17m kites for the light average wind of 10.8 kts; a twin-tip board is perfect for flat water progression and freestyle tricks.

Clothing · A light 2-3mm spring suit or rash guard is sufficient given tropical Caribbean temperatures year-round. Reef shoes are highly recommended for protection.

Crowd & etiquette

Coordinate with local schools and rental operators as the spot gets crowded with lessons. Keep clear of swimmers and tourist swimmers near resort areas.

Additional notes

March-April offers the best wind window and fewer tropical storms. Visit early morning (6-10am) for the most consistent winds before thermal effects increase afternoon lulls.
