About Petit St Vincent

Water about 29°C: no wetsuit. Typical sea temperature for the time of year, not a forecast.
A spot for kitesurfing, as OpenStreetMap maps it, on a shore facing E. Wind from the E blows onshore, wind from the W blows out to sea, and wind from the S or N runs along the shore. It is exposed to the open sea. The sea is about 27°C in January, its coldest month (no wetsuit), and 30°C in September, its warmest (no wetsuit). No town nearby. Nearest beds: Clifton, 8 km (about 15 min by car). Nearest airport: Union Island International Airport (UNI), 8 km. Within 5 km we also list 1 dive site.
