Overview
Off the coast of Venezuela, Los Roques is a Caribbean archipelago renowned for kite surfing, featuring an ambiance of turquoise lagoons, shallow waters, and long boat rides between islets. The water is often flat to slightly choppy depending on the areas, with more sheltered passages near the sandbanks and others a bit more exposed as you move away from the islands. The most favorable period is generally from December to May, with fairly consistent winds, often side-on to onshore depending on the spots. Since many areas are accessed by boat and some runs can be offshore, it's important to stay vigilant about the conditions, especially if you're not comfortable sailing independently. It's a sun trip destination, perfect for alternating between sailing, kite safaris, and a paradise-like atmosphere.
