About Antigua Dickenson Bay
Known for kitesurfing and windsurfing, by the OpenStreetMap map of the area. The shore faces NW, so wind from the SE blows out to sea (our estimate from the coastline).
Water about 29°C: no wetsuit. Typical sea temperature for the time of year, not a forecast.
A spot for kitesurfing and windsurfing, as OpenStreetMap maps it, on a shore facing NW. Wind from the NW blows onshore, wind from the SE blows out to sea, and wind from the NE or SW runs along the shore. It is sheltered to the open sea. The sea floor shelves very gently: 10 m deep about 1.5 km out (1 in 147). The sea is about 27°C in January, its coldest month (no wetsuit), and 29°C in August, its warmest (no wetsuit). The town to stay in is St John St John Parish.
The score is the conditions only: the journey, the price and the partners never change it (how we score, how we earn).
