Water quality
Beach water qualityThe southeast coast between Guayama and Patillas is a kitesurfing area where trade winds from the southeast blow across open water, typically 18–28 knots (21–32 mph). The bays hold flat water, which suits riders who want steady wind without chop. Launch points include Punta Pozuelo in Guayama and Punta Guilarte in Arroyo, which lies between the two towns. The season runs November to May, when the southeast trades are most reliable.
