Spring Bay

Spring Bay is a semi-enclosed bay on Saint Vincent's northeast coast, characterized by protected waters bounded by rocky headlands. The turquoise coloration visible in satellite imagery indicates shallow reef systems and variable bottom conditions typical of Caribbean bays. The coast faces northeast at approximately 45°, making northwest winds (315°) the optimal side-shore direction for kitesurfing. The bay offers moderate wave exposure with average swells of 1.22m, suitable for intermediate riders seeking protected conditions. Water conditions are rough-chop rather than organized swells, reflecting the bay's enclosed nature and reef influences. Low wind reliability (34.7%) and moderate average wind speed (10.8 knots) suggest conditions are inconsistent. The spot suits intermediate kiters seeking shallow-water practice or those preferring protection from open ocean swells. Key considerations include navigating shallow reef areas, respecting the limited space for maneuvers, and timing sessions during higher wind periods. Local boat traffic from residential areas should be monitored.
