Roger's Beach

Roger's Beach is situated on Aruba's northwestern coast, within a protected bay formation characterized by shallow lagoon waters and clear turquoise coloration. The spot consists of multiple depth zones: shallow sandy flats along the main beach and deeper channels cutting through the bay. The southern section features distinctive reef structures visible as lighter circular formations. The coastline faces northwest into relatively protected water, with surrounding residential and commercial development limiting wind exposure. With average winds of 14.4 knots and 76% reliability, conditions are consistent but moderate. The rough-chop water state and 1.27m average wave height indicate fetch-limited conditions typical of bay environments. This spot suits beginners and early intermediates due to shallow water providing natural bailout zones, though variable bottom topography requires awareness. The bay's protection makes it reliable but inherently limiting for wave development. Best conditions occur with northeast to east winds providing side-shore alignment. Water temperatures around 27.8°C support year-round activity. Navigation around shallow areas and reef zones demands local knowledge.
