About this spot
Kiteforum's Moriah Cay record describes a shallow bay near George Town on Great Exuma with shallow, flat, crystal-clear water across the whole bay, small 0.5–1 m waves mid-bay for wave beginners, and a current in the channel. The guide's rider-ability list includes beginners and calls the water perfect for them.
Exuma Kitesurfing, operating on Great Exuma since 2007, uses the Moriah Harbour Cay area for group sessions and teaches beginners at waist-deep, sandy-bottom locations — but its teaching base is not necessarily this exact cay, so lessons here need to be arranged with the operator in advance.
Access is by boat to an uninhabited cay area, and Moriah Harbour Cay sits in a protected-cays zone, so current landing, anchoring and access rules must be checked locally before you rig. The best months are January–April and October–December with north-easterly to easterly winds; summer winds are lighter.
