Turtle Island

Turtle Island features a protected lagoon separated from the Atlantic Ocean by a sandy barrier and mangrove-lined shores. The lagoon faces west toward open water, with the main water body occupying a wide basin enclosed by dense vegetation and sandy deposits. This is a sheltered, shallow-water spot characterized by minimal wave exposure and protected conditions. The lagoon environment provides a contained learning area with low wave energy (average 1.13m) and relatively calm water conditions. Ideal wind direction is northerly to maintain side-shore conditions while riding parallel to the eastern shoreline. The spot suits beginners and intermediate kiters seeking flat-water or small-wave practice in protected conditions. Key considerations include navigating around shallow areas, mangrove obstacles, and tidal variations that affect water depth and current strength. Wind reliability at 6.4% suggests this is a seasonal destination requiring patience for suitable conditions.
