About This Spot
Los Iros Bay is a sheltered bay on Trinidad's northwestern coast, facing northwest into the Caribbean. The bay is semi-enclosed by forested headlands and features a gently curving sandy beach with moderate tree coverage extending to the waterline. Water conditions appear choppy with limited fetch due to the bay's geography, making it suitable for progression and beginner riders seeking protected conditions rather than strong wind days.
The spot offers easy beach access through the developed central area and provides natural wind protection from northeasterly trades due to its northwest orientation. Best conditions occur with northeast to southeast winds that produce side-shore flows. The relatively small wave size (0.68m average) and choppy water type indicate this is a learning-oriented venue. Kiters should be aware of shallow water near shore, rocky features on the eastern point, and limited deep-water zones. The low wind reliability (0.0% in available data) suggests seasonal variability. This spot suits beginners and intermediate riders seeking calm, protected water rather than powerful wave riding.
