Wind & conditions

Trade winds build through the day, peaking mid-afternoon with warm water and side-on conditions on the main bay. Swell and reef shape the wave scene; inside sections can be flatter for freeride.

What to expect

  • Classic easterly trades — plan sessions after wind fills in
  • Reef breaks nearby; bay chop increases when trades ramp
  • Hurricane season awareness (roughly Jun–Nov) — check forecasts
Rules & hazards

Rules & etiquette

  • Yield to swimmers and lessons inside marked areas
  • Don’t kite over reef you can’t see — scope entry channels at low tide

Hazards

  • Shallow reef, sea urchins, and shorebreak on swell days
  • Downwind drift toward headlands if you’re underpowered or tired

Launch rules can vary by beach — read local signs and follow school guidance.
