Frigate Bay

Frigate Bay is a sheltered bay system on the southwestern coast of Saint Vincent, characterized by shallow turquoise waters and protected lagoon areas. The spot features a northeast-facing main bay with shallow reef structures and a distinct tidal lagoon in the upper northern section. Residential development marks the northern shoreline, while dense vegetation covers the western and southern lands. The bay's protected nature creates variable wind conditions with average wind of 12.9 knots and moderate reliability (62.5%). Best conditions occur with northwesterly winds (315°), which provide side-shore conditions across the main bay. Water conditions are rough-chop with modest wave heights averaging 1.03m, indicating the bay's limited fetch exposure. This spot suits intermediate riders seeking protected conditions with manageable waves. The shallow lagoon areas require careful navigation due to reef hazards and submerged structures. Tidal variation significantly affects usable water depth. Morning sessions typically offer lighter, more organized wind. Riders should be aware of residential boat traffic in northern sections and local conditions that can change rapidly.
