Lokale Tipps
Aruba's consistent year-round wind (320 windy days) makes this highly reliable; take advantage of the trade winds from June-August when conditions peak. Check local forecasts as sudden wind direction changes are common in the Caribbean.
Einstieg & Strand
Launch from the beach into the ocean swell; the choppy water requires careful positioning. East to southeast wind directions provide the most consistent conditions for launching safely.
Lokale Regeln
Respect other water users and maintain clear launch/landing zones. Follow local kitesurfing community guidelines and yield to swimmers in designated beach areas.
Was anziehen
A thin 2-3mm wetsuit is sufficient year-round given Aruba's warm tropical location; consider a rash guard for sun protection. Water temperature stays warm (78-82°F) throughout the year.

Spot-Guide
The Experience
Bushiri is consistent but unforgiving. You're launching into real ocean swell with trade winds that rarely quit. Beach entry is simple; what follows isn't. The water gets lumpy fast and shallow reef demands respect. Pick your line carefully. Wind here means you *ride*—320 days annually means conditions, not excuses.
Wind & Conditions
Trade winds dominate year-round, east to southeast. June through August pack the hardest punch. Average 16 knots climbs fast in gusts—funneling and acceleration mean you'll downsize your kite quicker than the forecast suggests. The data works: this spot has wind.
Water & Hazards
Open ocean swell, not bay. Constant chop. Swells roll through regularly; you need solid wave fundamentals before going solo. Caribbean currents run strong—work with them, don't fight. Reef sections are serious. Scout before you commit. Don't venture into shallows without confidence in your board control. Use a buddy.
Who Should Go
Intermediate minimum. You need wave sense and board control in choppy water. If you can lock an edge in bump-and-jump, you're ready. Beginners: hire an instructor first, consider gentler spots before soloing here.
Access
Aruba's tourism infrastructure keeps things accessible. Rental shops and instructors are available. You get reliable facilities without feeling remote.
