Pomato Point (Anegada)

Pomato Point (Anegada) is a shallow, flat, and crystal-clear kitesurfing area on the low-lying island of Anegada, where southeast trade winds often provide consistent riding. Riders can expect medium beach access for setup and launching on sand, with water depth that becomes knee-to-waist deep as you move into the riding area behind the reef. For kitesurfing, the spot is especially known for flat-water freestyle, freeride, and foil progression in the shallow lagoon/reef-protected water. Kite wind is commonly described as steady and typically in the ~15–25 knots range, with kite sizes often in the 10–14 m² band (9–12 m² also commonly cited), depending on winter/summer day strength and rider weight. Surfacing hazards are mainly related to the reef system: coral heads/reef areas (including heads up) and offshore reef make it important to stay aware of where you are riding and where the safe water channels are. There is no lifeguard presence at the spot, and rescue is reported as unavailable; plan on self-sufficiency and bring the day’s water and supplies. Seasonally, riding is best from December through March, matching the most reliable southeast trade-wind window. Temperatures are generally warm (around the 80s °F / mid-to-high 20s °C), and wetsuits are typically not needed; a rash guard/thin layer may be used for wind chill on cooler days. Summer can bring more fickle conditions and aligns with hurricane season risk (roughly June–November), so trip timing matters.
