Lokale Tipps
Los Roques requires a permit and entrance fee as a protected national park; obtain these before traveling. Supply runs to the mainland are essential as the islands have very limited stores and services.
Einstieg & Strand
Flat water conditions make this ideal for beginners; launch from sandy beaches on the leeward sides of islands where wind is most consistent. Eastern and northeastern winds dominate, so choose beaches facing these directions for best results.
Lokale Regeln
Respect Los Roques National Park regulations and protected marine areas; stay clear of designated ecological zones and marine wildlife. The spot sees minimal crowds due to its remote location, but coordinate with any local guides or other kiters present.
Was anziehen
A 2-3mm wetsuit is sufficient year-round given the warm Caribbean climate; consider a rash guard for sun protection. Water temperatures stay warm (75-82°F) throughout the year.

Spot-Guide
The Experience
Flat water. Reliable wind. No one around. Los Roques isn't a destination—it's a choice. You're trading accessibility for consistency, and accepting that permits, isolation, and self-sufficiency come with the package.
The archipelago sits in a national park. That means real enforcement. Launch from leeward beaches facing east or northeast, where trade winds compress between islands and create predictable pressure. Currents run hard through channels between islands, so you need to know which beaches work and which don't. Local knowledge isn't optional.
Wind & Conditions
16 knots average, 326 windy days yearly. April–November runs hard and steady. December–March lighter but rarely flat. Thermal effects and wind shifts happen fast—island geography creates micro-climates that can swing conditions 20 degrees in minutes. Respect the variability.
Water & Safety
Leeward sides run flat for learning. Warm year-round. But currents are serious, reefs scattered throughout, and rescue options minimal. If you get injured, break a board, or get swept into a channel, park rangers and basic first aid are your safety net. Bring redundancy: spare board, full first aid kit, extra food from the mainland. The islands have almost no stores.
Who Belongs Here
Beginners who can handle isolation and self-sufficiency. Experienced kiters chasing consistency without crowds. Not a place to wing it. Plan permits months ahead. Arrange transport from Margarita Island. Bring your own tools. The upside: because access is gated, everyone here is committed. No casual tourists. No watersports shops. Just wind and water.
Reefs & Environment
Reefs are hazards to navigate around and avoid—stay in known launch zones. Don't walk on coral. Park ranger stations enforce rules. Respect the ecosystem.
