Overview
South of New Providence, the Blue Hill / South Beach area offers a fairly typical setting of the Bahamas, with shallow waters and a water surface that can be flat to choppy depending on the tide and wind. It is a well-known area accessible to all levels when conditions are well aligned, providing a real option to work on the basics or ride freestyle on flat water. The most interesting winds usually come when the east to southeast flow sets in, with cleaner episodes in winter and sometimes more regular sessions in spring and summer. Caution is especially needed regarding the take-off space, which can be limited, as well as coastal obstacles and tidal variations. The atmosphere remains that of a local spot rather than a large beach break, with some nearby areas like Saunders Beach, Orange Hill, or Coral Harbour to vary according to the wind direction.
