Windsurfing in Bonaire

Lac Bay is one of the world’s most popular windsurf locations. SURF-Magazin has named Bonaire the number one spt for flat watersports. And there is a reason – thr Lac Bay lagoon. 6 out of 10 of the World’s top surf pros were born on Bonaire; Lac Bay is their playground.

What’s so special about windsurfing in Lac Bay?

It is the most stable windsurfing location, where you can either windsurf, wingfoil or windfoil 365 days in the year! The lagoon, adjacent to the Caribbean seas, stretches for a few miles, and its waters are protected by a big reef. This means there is barely any tides and no ocean swell. In spite of that, the lagoon is still full of ocean winds that are practically constant year-round.

Sometimes there’s no wind… What then?

Less windy days are a perfect time for exploring the lagoon with a SUP or a kayak. The lagoon is surrounded by a huge mangrove forest that is home to countless marine ecosystems. You can book a guided kayaking tour in the Mangrove Center.

Some parts of the lagoon are deep enough for you to try the newest trend in windsurfing – windfoiling or even wingfoiling! A precise sport, it doesn’t require too much wind. In fact, once you get the hang of it, we promise you’ll be addicted to the feeling of flying above water!

Additionally, you can go snorkeling. Lac Bay has a beautiful reef in the middle. It is a far walk, but it is definitely worth it.
