About This Spot
Bahia de San Pedro is a sheltered bay on Venezuela's Caribbean coast facing south toward open water. The spot features a developed beach area with residential infrastructure, protected waters, and a narrow sandy spit forming the bay's eastern boundary. The bay's enclosed nature provides wind shadow and limited fetch, resulting in small average wave heights (0.54m) and choppy water conditions. Best conditions occur with easterly winds (90°) that blow parallel to the coastline, providing side-shore access. The low wind reliability (20.2%) and minimal wave energy make this spot most suitable for beginner and intermediate kiters seeking flat-water conditions for learning or practicing tricks. Experienced riders may find limited challenge during light wind periods. Key considerations include shallow areas requiring awareness of water depth, mooring fields indicating local boat traffic, and the need to work around developed areas for safe launch and landing zones. Spring and summer months typically offer more consistent winds for this location.
