Wind Days = % of days with 12–35 knot average wind speed (ideal kiting conditions). Based on 6 years of historical weather data.
Protected shallow water, typically flat and ideal for learning or freestyle
Majors Cay Harbor is a shallow tropical lagoon located in the Bahamas. The spot features a west-facing coastline with clear turquoise waters typical of Caribbean carbonate environments. The lagoon is characterized by scattered coral formations and seagrass beds visible as dark patches beneath the surface, indicating depths generally under 3-4 meters. Wave action is limited due to the protected lagoon setting, with a breaking wave line visible along the reef edge marking the boundary between shallow and deeper water. Wind reliability is notably low at 6.1%, and average wind speed is minimal at 7.6 knots, suggesting this is a seasonal or inconsistent spot. Best conditions require northerly winds for side-shore orientation across the harbor entrance. The shallow depths and coral obstacles make this suitable primarily for beginner kiters seeking flat-water conditions and low-wind practice. The presence of mooring buoys and harbor infrastructure indicates active boat traffic, requiring awareness of vessel movements. Water temperature around 27°C is warm year-round. Access and launch considerations should account for the protected harbor environment and shallow entry zones.
