Emerald Point

Emerald Point is a shallow lagoon system in Turks and Caicos characterized by enclosed turquoise waters protected by low-lying islands and coastal vegetation. The spot features a west-facing coastline with sandy beaches and mangrove-lined shores. The lagoon's enclosed nature provides protection from larger ocean swells, resulting in very small, choppy conditions (0.80m average). Wind reliability is moderate at 45.8% with average winds around 11.3 knots, making conditions marginal for consistent kitesurfing. The shallow water and sandbars present navigation challenges and require local knowledge. Best wind direction is from the north for side-shore conditions. This spot suits beginners and intermediate riders seeking flat-water practice in protected conditions, though wind consistency may be limiting. Kiters should be cautious of shallow areas, vegetation obstacles, and the confined layout that restricts course options.
