Amenities

Hazards

Strong currents and occasional rip tides in the passages between islandsRocky outcrops and shallow reefs scattered throughout the archipelagoRemote location with limited rescue services; always notify someone of your plansSudden wind shifts and thermal effects due to island geography

Launch notes

Flat water conditions make this ideal for beginners; launch from sandy beaches on the leeward sides of islands where wind is most consistent. Eastern and northeastern winds dominate, so choose beaches facing these directions for best results.

Gear & clothing

Gear · Bring 14-17m kites to handle the steady 16kt average winds; a 12m kite is useful for stronger wind days. A twin-tip or beginner-friendly directional board works well in the flat water and light wind conditions.

Clothing · A 2-3mm wetsuit is sufficient year-round given the warm Caribbean climate; consider a rash guard for sun protection. Water temperatures stay warm (75-82°F) throughout the year.

Crowd & etiquette

Respect Los Roques National Park regulations and protected marine areas; stay clear of designated ecological zones and marine wildlife. The spot sees minimal crowds due to its remote location, but coordinate with any local guides or other kiters present.

Additional notes

Los Roques requires a permit and entrance fee as a protected national park; obtain these before traveling. Supply runs to the mainland are essential as the islands have very limited stores and services.
