Shallow reef creating wave breaks, suited for experienced riders
This Bonaire reef spot features a distinctive atoll-like formation with a protected shallow lagoon transitioning to deep ocean. The northeast-facing coastline is bordered by a vibrant turquoise coral reef system characteristic of Caribbean limestone structures. The reef creates a natural barrier that moderates wave energy while generating variable chop conditions typical of shallow reef environments. Best conditions occur with northwest winds (315°) providing side-shore flow parallel to the coast, matching the island's prevailing trade wind patterns with 74% reliability. The 13.8-knot average wind and 0.87m wave height indicate consistent but modest conditions suited for intermediate kiters with reef experience. Water temperatures average 27.6°C year-round. Key considerations include navigating the shallow reef platform, avoiding sharp coral heads during launch/landing, and respecting strong tidal currents that channel through reef passages. Access appears limited to designated entry points due to the reef structure. This spot rewards kiters comfortable reading shallow water conditions and managing marine hazards.
