Playa Grandi

Playa Grandi is a north-facing beach break on Bonaire's windward coast, characterized by a gently sloping sandy beach with scattered reef and rock formations. The spot faces directly north toward open Atlantic waters, providing consistent swell exposure and moderate wind conditions year-round. The 74.8% wind reliability and average 13.8 knots make it a dependable destination for intermediate kiters seeking consistent conditions. The visible nearshore reef patches and rocky areas require careful navigation, particularly during entry and exit. Water temperatures average 27.6°C with modest 1-meter waves typical of local conditions. The rough-chop water type indicates active wind-water interaction suitable for trick practice. Best wind conditions occur from easterly to easterly-southerly directions (75-90°), which provide ideal side-shore angles relative to the north-facing coast. The spot suits intermediate riders comfortable with reef awareness and variable bottom conditions. Key considerations include timing sessions to avoid shallow areas, understanding local current patterns, and respecting the exposed Atlantic fetch that can rapidly build larger swell.
