Westpoint

Westpoint is a beach break located on the western coast of Aruba, characterized by a rocky/boulder-strewn shoreline fronting arid scrubland. The spot faces westward into the Caribbean, with relatively shallow water extending from the shore before dropping deeper offshore. Water conditions are rough-chop with modest average wave heights of 1.21m, typical of this exposed location. The prevailing north wind (14.5 knots average, 76.4% reliability) provides consistent side-shore conditions from the north, making northerly winds ideal for safe kitesurfing. The spot suits intermediate riders who can handle rough water conditions and navigate the rocky coastal terrain. Launch and landing zones require attention due to rocky obstacles and shallow water near shore. The wind reliability is solid, though conditions can be choppy. Water temperatures average 27.9°C, providing warm conditions year-round. Avoid launching during strong current indicators visible in water patterns, and plan sessions around tide changes to optimize shallow-water conditions near the beach.
