Westpoint
Westpunt Beach, Noord, Aruba
Westpoint crowns the far northwest tip of Aruba where east swells wrap around the headland and produce powerful head-high to overhead waves over a rocky reef. Wingfoilers willing to study the underwater layout are rewarded with clean riding lines and spectacular sessions in uncrowded Caribbean surf. This raw and exposed spot demands solid foil control, real experience, and respect for the rocky seafloor — not a spot for guessing.
Best months: January, February, March, April, May, June, July, August

Local tips
Do not surf here alone as you are outside of any rescue and there are some currents. Waves can get pretty big (2,5 m), even though it is just wind swell. And beware of rocks on the inside.
