Green Island (Willikies)

Green Island (off the Willikies area) is a boat-access-only, sheltered flat-water destination with crystal-clear conditions and small beaches for launching. The riding area is described as calm and protected by an outer reef system, creating an easy-to-use playground for progression rather than surf-style riding. Wind is primarily driven by Northeast to East trade winds (NNE, NE, ENE, E, ESE). During the core season (December through July, with strong emphasis in winter and spring), the wind is reported as consistent and often steady once it gets going—so a morning wind typically means the day stays workable. Typical reported ranges place it roughly in the teens to mid-20s knots. Kitesurfing is the primary sport, with the bay offering flat-water sessions for freeride and foil progression and, in suitable conditions, freestyle/strapless riding. Windsurfing and wingfoiling are also described as strong options, with deep water just off the flats supporting foiling maneuvers. Safety planning is important: reefs/coral heads and anchored yachts are specifically called out as hazards in the bay, and riders are advised to respect yacht anchoring areas and avoid any marked swim zones. Because the island is uninhabited, riders should arrive prepared with everything needed for the day and arrange boat transport in advance. Rescue is described as limited in one source and more available in other notes—confirm on the ground before committing to the session.
