Isaac Bay

Isaac Bay is a north-facing bay on the eastern coast of St. Croix in the US Virgin Islands. The spot features a sandy/shallow entrance with prominent reef structure visible in the turquoise shallows, transitioning to deeper open water offshore. The bay configuration provides some wind acceleration and sheltering from extreme swell, though fetch is limited by the Caribbean geography. Wind conditions are moderate and unreliable at 10.8 knots average with only 35.5% reliability, suggesting this spot works best during seasonal wind events. Side-shore winds from the northwest (315°) provide the safest riding configuration, keeping kiters away from shore hazards while maintaining control. Average wave heights of 1.32m indicate small, chop-driven conditions rather than organized swells. This spot suits intermediate riders comfortable navigating shallow reef areas and variable wind. The bay's protected nature means reduced wave size but also calmer water for learning wave technique. Primary considerations include avoiding submerged reef hazards in turquoise zones, timing sessions around wind windows, and being aware of potential current flow at the bay entrance during tide changes.
