Salina Point

Salina Point is a shallow lagoon system located in the Bahamas, protected by a breakwater structure on its southern perimeter. The lagoon faces northwest with water contained between the barrier and mainland. This sheltered setting creates calm, contained conditions suitable for beginners and light-wind practice. The water exhibits typical lagoon characteristics with visible shallow areas, soft bottom, and moderate turbidity. Wind direction of northeast to east would provide optimal side-shore conditions for safe progression practice. The spot receives modest wind reliability (34%) with average wind speeds of 10.5 knots, indicating variable conditions typical of tropical lagoons. Water temperature averages 27.5°C year-round. The rough-chop conditions visible in the image suggest wind-driven surface texture rather than organized swell. This location suits riders developing fundamental skills in a protected environment without significant wave power. Shallow depths allow easy water entry and exit but require awareness of soft bottom hazards and potential obstacles.
