About This Spot
Club Karey is located within a shallow, protected lagoon system on Cuba's northern coast. The lagoon is bounded by mangrove vegetation and residential development on the western shore, with sand barriers and small islands creating a complex internal geography. The water body opens toward the north, facing the Atlantic Ocean across a barrier island system.
This lagoon offers sheltered, flat-water conditions ideal for beginners and those learning fundamentals. The presence of multiple islands and sand bars provides natural wind acceleration corridors but also creates navigation hazards. Water depths are consistently shallow throughout, reducing drowning risk but limiting kite movement in gusty conditions.
Best wind conditions occur from northerly directions (0-45°), providing side-shore conditions parallel to the main lagoon axis. However, the extremely low wind reliability (9.9%) means sessions are infrequent. The average wind of 7.9 knots is marginal for most kitesurfing. Minimal wave development makes this unsuitable for wave-riding but acceptable for flat-water progression.
Suited for beginners seeking protected conditions and boat traffic awareness. The lagoon's complexity requires local knowledge of shallow areas and channel navigation.
