Partially sheltered coastline with moderate, varied conditions
Chepes Beach is a sheltered bay located on Honduras's Caribbean coast, characterized by a Northeast-facing shoreline with moderate residential development. The bay features sandy bottom with visible sandbars and shallow water transitioning to deeper blue water offshore. The protected nature of the bay creates calm conditions ideal for learning, though it limits wave development. Wind patterns are best from the Northwest (315°), providing side-shore conditions for safe kite control. With average winds of only 10.3 knots and 32.5% reliability, sessions are limited to specific weather windows. Average wave heights of 0.91m make this unsuitable for wave riding but adequate for flat-water progression. The spot suits beginners and early-intermediate riders seeking protected conditions to develop foundational skills. Kiters should be aware of shallow sandbars requiring careful launch and landing zones, residential boat traffic, and the consistency challenges typical of Caribbean bay spots during low-wind seasons.
