About Southwest Cay

Southwest Cay serves intermediate and advanced riders seeking challenge. Exposed location funnels gusty trade winds and choppy conditions, creating an energetic playground for experienced kiters. Shallow water persists, supporting sandy launches but demanding precise board handling. Variable gust patterns reward tactical positioning and edge awareness. Less crowded than main island spots, offering more water to explore. Not for beginners.
