Sailing Spot and Conditions
Windsurfing is based in two locations. One is at Oualie Beach in a sheltered bay that is ideal for beginners. The other location is at Nisbet Plantation Beach with a shallow launch that offers excellent opportunities for wave sailing outside the reef for intermediate to advanced windsurfers. The windsurfing equipment is based on pre-booked, bespoke service. Outside the bay offers first class bump and jump sailing in the ‘Narrows' between Nevis and sister island of St Kitts. The North Easterly Trade winds funnel between the islands from December through to April averaging 15-25 knots on high wind days. There is no school for kitesurfing on Nevis, though a few people do kite in the Narrows.
