Hazards

Shallow water and sandbars near shore require careful navigation, especially in light wind conditionsStrong currents and occasional sea grass in flat water areas can affect board controlAfternoon thermal winds can create sudden gusts; monitor weather changes closelyRocky outcrops and reef areas in certain zones demand local knowledge before exploring

Launch notes

The flat water and sandy beach provide ideal launching conditions for beginners. With consistent ENE to E winds, expect reliable conditions year-round with easiest launches during morning sessions before thermal effects intensify.

Gear & clothing

Gear · Use 14-17m kites for the consistent 15.8kt average winds; smaller boards (around 139L) work well in flat water conditions. Beginners should have both a larger kite for light days and a smaller option as skills develop.

Clothing · A 2mm or thin wetsuit is suitable given the warm Caribbean location; rashguards offer sun protection year-round. Most sessions require minimal thermal protection except during cooler December-January months.

Crowd & etiquette

Respect other water users and local swimmers by staying in designated kite zones. Give right-of-way to other kiters and maintain safe distances, especially in the beginner-friendly shallow areas.

Additional notes

Visit during the peak season (December-May) for the most reliable winds and best beginner conditions. Check with local guides about seasonal variations and any marine life considerations specific to the area.
