Lokale Tipps
Aruba's consistent trade winds blow 320 days per year, making this a reliable destination despite the listed best months being year-round. Early morning sessions offer the calmest conditions and fewer crowds at this popular local spot.
Einstieg & Strand
The flat water and consistent easterly winds make this an ideal beginner launch spot. Wade launch is straightforward in shallow conditions, though watch for scattered rocks when entering the water.
Lokale Regeln
Respect the working fishermen and their nets in the area, staying clear of active fishing zones. Maintain distance from recreational swimmers and other water users during peak hours.
Was anziehen
A 2-3mm wetsuit is suitable for Aruba's warm tropical waters year-round. Quick-dry rashguards offer sun protection given intense Caribbean UV exposure.

Spot-Guide
The Experience
You're kiting in an active fishing harbor. Boats launch and land. Local guys work catches while you're on the water. It's unglamorous and consistent.
Entry is shallow and straightforward, but rocks scatter near the shoreline—pay attention getting in and out. This isn't a dramatic hazard, just something to respect.
Wind & Conditions
Trade winds run here 320 days a year, averaging 16 knots. January and July feel identical. There's no "best month" fiction. Early morning gives you light and space; by midday thermals add texture to the otherwise glass surface.
The Water
Flat and shallow makes this beginner-friendly, but it comes with trade-offs. Reef and rocky areas near launch mean your entry and exit paths are tight. Currents run through the bay despite the general calm—they can build chop fast. Shallow water doesn't mean passive water.
Who It's For
Beginners and intermediates after reliable wind without flying to the middle of nowhere. Restaurants, bars, rental shops sit walking distance away. You get comfort and consistency.
If you want empty lineups or dramatic scenery, keep driving.
The Scene
Local. Working-class. You share the bay with fishing traffic. Shade at the hut matters in this heat. Early morning is crowded; by midday you're either solo or dealing with wind chop. The real edge: show up almost any day and get a session.
