Capt Jays Beach

Capt Jays Beach is a shallow lagoon spot on the southern coast of the Bahamas, facing south toward open water. The area is characterized by a protected shallow basin with numerous dark patch reefs and coral heads scattered throughout, visible as dark spots in the turquoise water. Water depth appears minimal in most areas, making this suitable primarily for beginners or light-wind sessions. The narrow strip of sand and beach vegetation provides limited land space. Best conditions require easterly or westerly winds (90-270°) to achieve side-shore alignment parallel to the southern coastline. The spot's main appeal is calm, shallow water ideal for learning, though low wind reliability (12.6%) means sessions are infrequent. Kiters must navigate carefully around numerous reef patches and avoid shallow sandy areas. Wave action is minimal (1.17m average), confirming the lagoon's protected nature. This spot suits beginners seeking flat-water practice in shallow conditions but requires patience due to inconsistent wind patterns typical of the Bahamas.
