Aruba's year-round consistent trade winds make it exceptionally reliable with 324 windy days annually. Check local conditions before sessions as choppy water demands respect for your ability level.

Launching is straightforward from the beach with consistent trade winds from the east/southeast. The choppy water conditions mean you'll experience regular chop; wade out carefully to avoid rocks and reef when launching.

Keep clear of swimmers and other beach users; this is a popular recreational area. Follow local right-of-way rules and respect any designated zones for other water sports.

Water temperature stays warm year-round (78-82°F), so a light 2-3mm rashguard or spring suit provides sun protection without excess bulk. No heavy wetsuit needed.
