Steady trade winds and a waist-deep turquoise lagoon: effortless windsurfing
THE DESTINATION
Bonaire is the definition of effortless windsurfing. Lac Bay's waist-deep turquoise flatwater and steady trade winds make it one of the best places on earth to learn, progress and ride freestyle. Mistakes don't hurt here, you just step off, laugh and try again. The windsurf scene centres on Jibe City at Sorobon Beach. Off the water there are mangroves to kayak, reefs to snorkel, flamingos overhead and the laid-back island life of the Dutch Caribbean.
WHAT TO EXPECT
The wind when we're there
Sailing wind: 2+ hours in a row of 11+ knots, or gusts of 16+, between 11:00 and 19:00. Source: Open-Meteo, 2023-2026. Measured, not our estimate.
Wind is nature, not a promise. We can't guarantee it. But Bonaire stacks the odds in your favour, and we plan every day around the forecast to chase the best of it together.
