Why Riders Love It

In wintertime 70% over 4 Bft, in summertime 80% over 4 Bft. Often turns from sideoffshore from left to sideshore from left at noon. If the forecast says at least 3 Bft from North it will have wind.

📅

When to Go

Water temperature approx. 20°C in wintertime, 25-28°C in summertime, in the lagoon a bit colder, because the wind cools the flat water. Air in summer 30-35°C, winter 20-25°C.

🌊

What to Expect

Mostly choppy in the lagoon, no waves. Approx. 200m shallow area which can be very shallow, or even dry in low tide (summer). No strong current. The water is beautiful clear and clean. After the 200m the water is deep, choppy or a bit wavy if the wind is strong. Somewhere are some reefs but not dangerous. Beginners should wear shoes, here are some bad shells/corals.
