West End

West End is a protected lagoon spot located on the western coast of Grand Cayman, facing westward across a shallow bay. The site features a sandy beach with residential properties immediately behind, transitioning into clear shallow water that extends seaward before dropping off at a visible reef edge. The lagoon-style setup creates a sheltered environment with minimal wave development due to limited fetch. Water conditions appear calm with typical Caribbean rough-chop texture. The spot receives consistent but moderate trade wind exposure. Best conditions occur with northerly winds (0-45°) providing reliable side-shore orientation parallel to the coast. This spot is most suitable for beginners and intermediate kiters seeking protected, shallow-water conditions with minimal current exposure. Key considerations include the proximity to residential areas and potential shallow-water obstacles, the limited wave size typical of lagoon environments, and the importance of staying aware of reef structures. The 35.6% wind reliability and modest 10.9-knot average require patience for session planning.
