Capesterre

Capesterre is located on the eastern coast of Guadeloupe, facing the Atlantic Ocean with a northeast-southwest orientation. The coastline features a narrow beach strip backed by dense vegetation and clearings, with the water characterized by consistent Atlantic swell and moderate wave activity. The visible white water patterns indicate established wave breaking zones and reef structures near the shore. With average waves of 1.40m and modest wind reliability at 35.8%, conditions are variable. Northwest winds (around 315°) would provide side-shore conditions parallel to the coast. The spot is best suited for intermediate kiters who are comfortable with open-ocean swell, choppy water conditions, and navigating around visible reef and rocky hazards. The average water temperature of 27.1°C is warm year-round. Wind averaging 10.9 knots is marginal but can build with weather systems. Kiters should assess wave and wind conditions carefully before launching, as the exposed Atlantic coastline offers limited shelter and rescue options.
