Wind Days = % of days with 12–35 knot average wind speed (ideal kiting conditions). Based on 4 years of historical weather data.
Partially sheltered coastline with moderate, varied conditions
Nisbet Beach is located on the northeastern coast of Saint Kitts, where the shoreline faces northeast into the Atlantic-facing bay. The spot features a sheltered bay configuration with a sandy beach backed by developed residential areas and vegetation. A shallow, turquoise-water zone extends offshore with visible reef formations and rocky hazards, transitioning to deeper blue water. The bay's northeastern aspect suggests southeast to southwest winds provide side-shore conditions. Best wind direction is southeast (135°), aligned with prevailing trade winds. The shallow bay with reef and rock hazards makes this intermediate-level riding. Average waves of 1.18m and rough-chop conditions indicate variable swell exposure. The spot suits intermediate kiters comfortable navigating shallow reef zones and requiring precise positioning. The 45.8% wind reliability means many sessions lack adequate wind. Low average wind speed of 11.6 knots is marginal for consistent progression. Water type and shallow zones demand caution; local knowledge of hazard locations is essential before riding.
