What to Expect

It is a fairly basic lagoon conditions, but caution has to be kept when near the fringing reef as this gets progressively shallower as you approach it. The passes should also be kept well clear off, as the current in them is strong, being the only way for the water that was brought in by the waves to get out again. Some waves on the reef should be ridden with great caution, as they are far from the beach and shallow at best of times.
