About This Spot
Matura Bay is an open ocean kitesurfing spot located on Trinidad's northeast coast, where the Atlantic meets a heavily forested shoreline. The bay faces northeast toward open ocean, with consistent wave exposure and visible white water indicating regular swell activity. The spot features natural rocky points and a narrow beach access corridor through dense tropical forest. Best conditions occur with northwest to northeasterly winds that provide side-shore conditions parallel to the coast. The 1.39m average wave height suggests moderate swell activity, suitable for intermediate riders seeking wave-riding practice. The extremely low wind reliability (0%) indicates highly variable conditions, making consistent sessions unpredictable. Access is limited and challenging due to thick forest coverage. The spot requires intermediate skills to handle the open ocean exposure, rocky hazards, and variable wind patterns. Strong currents are likely present given the Atlantic exposure. Not recommended for beginners due to hazards and limited facilities. Sessions depend heavily on seasonal weather patterns and Atlantic swell cycles.
