Description of Sint Joris Baai (Curacao)

The St. Joris Bay is by far the best kiteboarding spot on Curacao. The wind has an average speed of 17-22 knots over 300 days per year. It has a nice beach from where we start your kitesurf lesson. The best wind season is from January to August, but there are also plenty of kiteboarding days from September to December. You will find Gusty Kiting on the St. Joris Bay. This is located on the North East side of Curaçao.
