Seawall kitesurf and wingfoil spot

Guyana · Demerara-Mahaica

Spot currently openIntermediate level 6.83 | -58.16

Overview

  • Kitesurf
  • Wingfoil

Seawall is a kitesurfing spot along the sea wall of Georgetown, Guyana's capital, on the Atlantic coast. The Sea Wall is a 280-mile seawall protecting coastal areas that sit below sea level at high tide.

Northeast trade winds blow consistently, particularly during the dry season (February to April and September to November). The Atlantic water offers chop with coastal currents. Water is brown and muddy due to river sediment.

The spot suits intermediate to advanced riders due to currents and the open Atlantic. The local kitesurfing community is small but active.
