Boca Grandi

Boca Grandi is an exposed beach break on Aruba's northeastern coast facing directly east toward open ocean. The spot features a sandy beach with scattered rock formations and reef patches visible both above and below the waterline. Water conditions show consistent rough-chop characteristics typical of trade wind exposure, with average waves around 1.27m and reliable wind averaging 14.4 knots at 76% consistency. The turquoise coloration indicates shallow water zones extending from shore, with deeper darker water beyond. Best conditions occur with northerly winds (0-45°) providing clean side-shore angles. The spot suits intermediate kiters comfortable navigating shallow water, uneven bottom features, and reef awareness. Beginners should wait for smaller swell days and lighter wind conditions. Notable considerations include checking tide levels before sessions, respecting local fishing activity visible in the area, and maintaining awareness of rocky hazards when entering/exiting. The consistent trade winds make this a reliable option during peak season.
