February Point (Great Exuma)

February Point (Great Exuma) is an upscale, private kitesurfing/foiling launch inside a gated resort community, reached via the resort entrance roughly 1 km south of George Town. Riders get crystal-clear water and a compact, shallow setup that can be very rewarding when conditions line up, but the launch zone is not forgiving. Wind is dominated by Northeast trade winds. The most reliable months are typically January through April, with another strong window stretching from September through December. Expect commonly around 10–25 knots depending on season/day, with light gusts and occasional near-shore variability influenced by resort buildings/landscaping. Directionally, the best wind often comes from NE through ENE and E (with E/SE variations mentioned). The water is described as shallow and flat-to-choppy, which suits controlled freestyle and wave-style sessions, while also supporting foiling once you are safely away from shore. However, there are reported hazards around the approach and edges including rocks/trees, plus harbor-related risks like moored boats, mooring lines, and boat traffic. Launch space is limited for self-launching, and you should keep clear of the main boat channels. Access and safety planning are key: public entry is restricted to resort guests, and there is no lifeguard presence reported. Local tips emphasize getting local guidance before going on water, staying in the correct smaller bay to the east (instead of the larger area further north), and respecting the resort community and privacy. In cooler winter months, shorty or thin wetsuits are commonly suggested for colder overcast days.
