Wind Days = % of days with 12–35 knot average wind speed (ideal kiting conditions). Based on 4 years of historical weather data.
Protected shallow water, typically flat and ideal for learning or freestyle
Pink Beach on Bonaire features a shallow lagoon system protected by a natural reef structure. The site consists of turquoise shallow waters separated from deeper ocean by a prominent coral/rock reef formation running parallel to shore. The lagoon itself exhibits multiple depth zones with seagrass beds and sandy areas. Wind reliability of 83.8% and average 14.9 knots make this a consistent location, with side-shore winds from the east providing ideal conditions. The rough-chop water type and 1.16m average waves indicate moderate water movement despite the lagoon protection. This spot suits beginners and early intermediates due to controlled water conditions and protected environment. The shallow lagoon allows for easy water re-entry and reduced consequence for mistakes. Key considerations include navigating around reef structures, monitoring tidal variations that affect water depth, and respecting the marine environment. The narrow channel between reef and shore requires awareness of current flow. Summer months may see warmer but potentially windier conditions.
