Lokale Tipps
Plan your visit during the May-August peak wind season for optimal conditions with 320+ windy days annually. Arrange transportation and supplies in advance as the island is remote with limited daily services.
Einstieg & Strand
Cayo de Agua offers protected shallow water launching ideal for beginners with consistent E to SE winds. The flat water and sandy beach make for easy entry and exit.
Lokale Regeln
Respect the marine park regulations and stay clear of designated snorkeling and diving zones. Keep communication open with other water users and tour boats operating in the area.
Was anziehen
A light 2-3mm wetsuit or rash guard is sufficient given the warm tropical Caribbean waters year-round, with sun protection prioritized over thermal insulation.

Spot-Guide
The Experience
Cayo de Agua sits in the lee of Los Roques' larger islands, keeping water flat even when trades push 16+ knots. Sandy beach, simple launch, minimal crowds. You come here for wind and glass, not infrastructure.
This is remote. No daily resupply, no frequent transport, no safety net. You need to self-organize months ahead. Basic medical facilities exist on the island; guide services run through tour operators. Plan accordingly.
Wind & Conditions
May through August locks in peak season with E to SE trades that hold steady. Even winter months (Dec–Feb) stay solid. Annual average sits around 16 knots—you'll ride a 14m most days. Underpowered sessions are rare. Overpowered afternoons happen during peak season, but flat water makes up for it.
The Water
Flat. The shallow lagoon setup and island protection eliminate chop. You can actually build tricks without fighting slop.
Rocky outcrops and shallow reefs scatter throughout. Know your zone and respect boundaries—guides will brief you, listen. Strong currents run between islands when wind picks up; you're managing current push, not just drifting downwind. Tourist ferry and fishing boat traffic is intermittent but present. Stay visible.
Who It's For
Flat water and easy launch read "beginner," but reaching this spot requires serious self-sufficiency. This is for kiters chasing progression in forgiving conditions without sacrificing wind consistency. People who don't need nightlife, just wind and water.
Getting There
Fly to Margarita or mainland Venezuela, then boat to the islands. Book accommodation well ahead—don't expect same-day resort rooms. Bring supplies for contingencies. Fresh water exists but stock isn't guaranteed. Local restaurants offer limited menus based on what's available.
May through August gives you the most reliable wind. Bring reef shoes for shallow, rocky sections.
