Overview

  • Kitesurf

Mahaica River Mouth is a kitesurfing spot at the mouth of the Mahaica River, on Guyana's Atlantic coast. This spot offers mixed water between the river mouth and the Atlantic Ocean.

Northeast trade winds blow consistently, particularly during the dry season. The river mouth offers a flat water area while the ocean has chop and currents. Water is brown due to sediment.

The spot suits intermediate riders. Access is from Georgetown. The environment is natural and uncrowded.
