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.

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.

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.

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.

In the water

Boardshorts or bikini with a rashguard or sun shirt.

On land

Light cotton; pack a rain jacket if the season overlaps rains.
