Water on ocean side can be very choppy and with some waves. Not too organized, though. On the `bay` side, water is flat and shallow, clear and a dream. It can get choppy when the wind and tide are up, but always flat, flat water to be found. There are numerous cays all around Staniel, so always easy to find what you're looking for. You do need a boat to access, however. Sand bars at low tide are soft sand. Beaches and sand bars at low tide are soft sand. Some rock jetties and rocky island formations appear around the surrounding cays, but are quite big and easy to avoid. All wind directions are good. Winter winds can be strong, especially when brought to you by a cold front! Otherwise, in the 15-23 knots range. Summertime, when the afternoon winds appear, expect 13-15 knots. Windy season typically November to March, but winds come up afternoons in the summer months. Ocean side or bay/harbor side - both great, depending on the wind. With so many cays, islands and sandbars, kiteboarding is possible with any wind direction. Water is somewhat chilly in winter - if the air is warm, shorty is sufficient; if cold front, you may want to consider something more. Depends on what you're used to. Summers can get very hot and buggy. Water: Shallow, Flat, Chop, Smallwave. Features: Rescue, Shower, Toilet, Food. Rider ability: Beginner, Intermediate, Expert.
