Harbour Island

Harbour Island is located on the eastern coast of the Bahamas, featuring a sheltered lagoon on its western side facing the Nassau Bank. The spot combines a shallow, protected lagoon environment with access to deeper waters beyond the reef line. The lagoon presents calm, shallow conditions suitable for progression, while the ocean-facing side offers more substantial water movement and wave development. Wind reliability of 37.7% and moderate average wind of 11.1 knots suggest this location experiences variable wind patterns typical of the Caribbean. The spot accommodates mixed skill levels: the lagoon provides beginner-friendly conditions with minimal swell, while intermediate riders can venture toward the reef line and deeper waters for stronger winds and modest wave action averaging 0.83m. Key considerations include monitoring tidal shifts that affect lagoon water levels and current patterns, avoiding seagrass and shallow areas, and respecting local boat traffic in developed residential zones. Water temperature averaging 25.8°C is comfortable year-round. Northerly winds provide optimal side-shore conditions across the main riding area.
