Hazards

Choppy ocean conditions with strong currents common in Caribbean watersRocky outcrops and shallow reefs near La Pared requiring careful navigationOccasional sudden wind shifts and thermal effects from the islandLimited rescue infrastructure in remote areas of the beach

Launch notes

Launch from sandy beach areas; the choppy water means a wading or boat launch may be necessary depending on tide and swell. NE and ENE winds provide the most consistent launch conditions with good on-shore flow.

Gear & clothing

Gear · Use 14-17m kites for the average 13kt winds; smaller kites (12m) for stronger days. A twin-tip or directional board handles the choppy conditions well, with hydro-foil boards suitable when winds are marginal.

Clothing · Minimal wetsuit (1-2mm shorty) or rash guard sufficient year-round given tropical Caribbean waters averaging 26-28°C. Reef booties recommended due to rocky bottom hazards.

Crowd & etiquette

Respect local fishermen and give right-of-way to commercial traffic. Keep sessions away from swimming areas and be aware of other water sports sharing the bay.

Additional notes

December to May offers the most reliable winds with 13+ knots consistently; check local weather as sudden wind drops can occur. Coordinate with local guides for safe entry points and avoid sessions during rough swell periods.
