Fishermen's Hut

Fishermen's Hut is a beach break located on Aruba's leeward western coast, facing the Caribbean Sea. The spot features a sandy beach with shallow lagoon areas that gradually deepen offshore, providing protected conditions close to shore with more open water at distance. The beach is backed by significant residential development with commercial infrastructure visible in satellite imagery. Wind reliability of 76.4% makes this a consistent location, though average wave heights of 1.21m indicate modest swell. Average wind of 14.5 knots provides adequate power for most conditions. The shallow lagoon areas suit beginners and intermediate kiters seeking protected water, while the gradual depth transition allows skill progression. Key considerations include navigating around shallow zones and vegetation, monitoring residential boat activity, and respecting the developed shoreline. North winds provide optimal side-shore conditions for this west-facing coast. Water temperatures averaging 28.1°C are warm year-round.
