Eleuthera

The spot mainly works with wind from the E to SE at side-on or sometimes onshore depending on the exact orientation of the flow relative to the beach. On this type of exposed beach on the Atlantic coast, the water surface is generally cleaner when the wind is well aligned and not too gusty, but it can become more chaotic if the wind picks up and pushes directly towards the shore.

Launching is done from the beach, with a quick start in the shorebreak area when the swell is present. Kiting mainly occurs in the area close to the shore and on sections that offer space to go upwind, but you need to keep some margin for the return as conditions can be more physical than in a lagoon. The launch area must remain clear, as the beach does not always offer much space when the swell takes up room or when the wind is strong.

The spot is more interesting when the sea remains organized and the swell leaves clean passages to exit without too much turbulence. It is an open coast spot, so riders must watch for downwind drift and anticipate retrieving equipment if the water surface becomes more agitated. Locals mainly confirm a surf-oriented use and kiting on the exposed coast, which indicates a spot that requires a minimum of comfort on the water.
