Bonaire, Caribbean Netherlands · 12.1033, -68.2316
Best wind
Offshore
Season
Late February to early March report: wind every day for three weeks
Water
Shallow windsurf bay grading to deeper flat water; ocean inlet rollers
Experience
Intermediate with reliable upwind ability and offshore-wind recovery
Hazards
Offshore wind, very shallow windsurfing areas, shallow reef at the inlet, jagged east shore and variable sargassum. There is no prone-surf foil shoreline in the report.
Parking & access
The forum references the Frans Paradise area and a fishing-village approach to the inlet; confirm current access and launch rules locally.
“Progression Project forum first-hand report describes Lac Bay as a very reliable late-February/early-March wing venue. Wind is offshore, the deeper water away from the windsurfers is glassy, and an ocean inlet with small rollers is about a 10–15 minute upwind ride or reachable from the fishing village.”
