Caye Caulker

Caye Caulker is a small island in a shallow lagoon system off the coast of Belize, featuring a narrow strip of developed land surrounded by water. The spot faces southward into a protected lagoon environment with depths typically under 3 meters. The imagery shows seagrass beds, coral formations, and multiple boat moorings characteristic of a heavily-used marine protected area. Wind conditions are generally moderate with 12-knot averages and 49.6% reliability, though the shallow fetch limits wave development to 0.70m. The choppy water conditions result from multiple wind directions and shallow depths rather than swell exposure. This spot suits beginners and early intermediates seeking flat-water conditions to practice skills. The narrow lagoon and shallow depths reduce crash consequences but require awareness of seagrass, coral, and boat traffic. East-southeast winds (90°) provide optimal side-shore conditions. Water temperatures averaging 27.4°C are warm year-round. The modest wind reliability and flat conditions make this suitable for progression rather than advanced riding.
