Lokale Tipps
With 324 windy days per year, this spot is exceptionally consistent—check local conditions as wind rarely disappoints. The flat water and predictable winds make it perfect for progression but less exciting for advanced wave riding.
Einstieg & Strand
The flat water makes this ideal for beginners; launch directly into calm conditions with the consistent E-SE trade winds. Sandy beach access provides easy entry and exit for riders of all levels.
Lokale Regeln
Keep clear of other water users and give priority to swimmers and snorkelers in shared areas. Respect local fishing activity and maintain a safe distance from anchored boats.
Was anziehen
A thin rash guard or shorty wetsuit is sufficient year-round given Aruba's tropical climate; water temperature remains warm (78-82°F) throughout all seasons.

Spot-Guide
The Experience
Flat water. Sand launch. The E-SE trades show up 324 days a year, which means you're not checking forecasts—you're just showing up. No swell windows. No waiting. The wind is mechanical and honest.
Wind & Conditions
16-knot E-SE trades dominate the year. Gusts happen, but they follow the same pattern, so you learn the rhythm fast. No thermal offshore nonsense. No weird acceleration zones. Just reliable wind.
Water & Hazards
Genuinely flat and shallow. Good for progression work. Watch for coral heads and rocky patches before you launch—scout your zone. Shallow water limits visibility in spots. Boat traffic passes through occasionally, so stay aware.
Who This Works For
Beginners and intermediates building tricks. The flat water and wind consistency mean fewer variables fighting you. Advanced riders chasing waves or wind-against-current challenges won't find them here—this is a classroom, not a proving ground.
Access
Rental shops, schools, parking, and food nearby. Functional year-round destination. No expedition required.
