Oasis is a shallow coastal lagoon located on Venezuela's Caribbean coast, characterized by murky turquoise water and extensive mangrove vegetation. The lagoon opens directly to the sea with a north-facing shoreline, featuring a white sand beach transitioning into deeper waters. The spot's defining features include low-lying mangroves and partially submerged structures visible throughout the lagoon system.
This location suits only beginner kiters during rare favorable wind conditions. The 20.2% wind reliability severely limits usability, with average winds of just 8.8 knots—often insufficient for kitesurfing. Best wind direction is from the east, providing side-shore conditions parallel to the coast. Water conditions are consistently choppy with minimal wave development (0.54m average), making this a flat-water spot unsuitable for wave riding.
Key considerations include extremely shallow water requiring careful launch and landing, dense mangrove obstacles limiting riding area, muddy bottom providing poor visibility, and very limited fetch distance. The spot should only be attempted during unusual high-wind events and requires thorough local knowledge to navigate safely.
