Waves breaking on sandy bottom, varied conditions
Bushiri is an urban beach break located on Aruba's southern coast, directly adjacent to significant port and industrial infrastructure. The spot faces south into open ocean with moderate fetch, generating consistent small to medium waves typical of the southern Caribbean exposure. The water body transitions from shallow nearshore conditions to deeper offshore areas. Average conditions show 1.08m waves with reliable 14.5-knot winds and 76.4% consistency, making it a dependable spot year-round. Best wind direction is easterly (90°), which provides ideal side-shore conditions parallel to the coastline. This spot suits intermediate kiters comfortable navigating around commercial maritime activity and industrial development. The proximity to port facilities means regular boat traffic and potential for strong localized currents near channel approaches. Water conditions are characterized as rough-chop rather than organized swell, typical of exposed Caribbean locations with minimal swell organization. Kiters should exercise caution regarding vessel movements and maintain awareness of shifting current patterns near the harbor.
