Windsurfing conditions
Whether you're just beginning the sport, or are at an expert level, you'll find the conditions that make it perfect for you. The Eastern Trade Winds provide strong and consistent wind all year round. The water is warm all year round as well; averaging about 26 degrees Celsius, so there's no need to bring your wetsuit. The 2 km wide bay has a sandy bottom, with only a few spots of reef in the inner bay that are quite easy to avoid.
Sailing conditions in the mornings are perfect for beginners or children, as the water tends to be flat and the winds light. Early afternoon sees the winds increasing for intermediate to expert level sailing. The wind can continue to increase until mid-afternoon and then maintains consistency until around 6:00 pm, for a great afternoon of sailing. At certain times of the year the reef enclosing the Bay creates great wave sailing conditions. At other times, flatter waters are optimal for slalom sailing.
