Beach and Tide Conditions
Kitesurfing conditions do not depend on Tide on this spot.
Wax Cay, Bahamas is a Shallow, Flat, Chop and Small waves spot.
The launching/landing area is reported to be of Medium size.
Beautiful beaches - and lots of them. White sand, some shells. Rocks around the island, and are particularly sharp on the windward (East) side. Small private beaches are located on the north side of the island, but it's not recommended for kite launch. Best kite beaches on Wax Cay are on the Southwest side. Fantastic beaches on the small neighboring islands and cays. Easily accessible with small boat. Launching possible from any wind direction- just pick your beach! Low tide sand bar, located 10 yards off of north shore, offers superb launching when exposed. Better not to leave gear on the beach, as it will be washed away with the tide.
Water on the insides very flat and shallow. Large sandbars exposed at low tide - and current can be strong in some places, but very easy to see. Flat water areas are enormous. On the windward side, open ocean riding - can be nice waves, but small beaches are surrounded by rocks and cliffs. Care should be taken.
