Le Vauclin

Le Vauclin is a bay-style kitesurfing spot located on Martinique's southeast coast, facing northeast toward the Atlantic. The spot features a protected bay with shallow turquoise waters transitioning to deeper blue ocean, bordered by residential development and natural vegetation. Visible reef structures create complex water conditions with multiple color gradations indicating depth variations and current patterns. The narrow beach access and surrounding infrastructure make this a technical spot requiring local knowledge. Best wind conditions occur with northwesterly winds (315°) providing side-shore flow parallel to the coast. The low wind reliability (19.2%) and modest average wave height (1.32m) suggest this works best during seasonal wind events rather than as a reliable daily destination. Intermediate kiters should scout conditions carefully due to reef hazards and shallow water obstacles. Water temperatures averaging 27.6°C are warm year-round. Access constraints and environmental sensitivity require respectful use of this developed coastal area.
