​

The Conditions

 

The spot we sail in is situated on Lac Bay this is the South East side of the island of Bonaire. 

Wind in the area at this time of year is a consistent breeze blowing from the sea anywhere from 15-25 knots. At the top of the bay there is a shallow and vibrant reef which stops all the waves, leaving Lac Bay with flat, warm and crystal clear shallow water.

A large part of the windsurfing area is standing depth from about thigh to chest depth allowing windsurfers to progress and gain confidence easily.

 

Equipment

 

Our hire centre in Lac Bay for 2024 is Frans Paradise.  They have expanded this year and we are very excited to join them for our next Bonaire groups.

For those looking to bring their own equipment please get in touch with us so we can advise you on how best to do this and what to bring.

​
