Flat and shallow water. Launching area on the side, the main beach is wind protected. Winds are trades mainly from the SE. In winter they can be boosted by the high pressure systems and avg 18-22 kts. Summer trades are generally lighter in the 12-15 kts range. The best option for trade winds is Akaiami. The summer time trade winds blow stronger than in Rarotonga, locals told me that seems to be a kind of cycle with one week strong wind and then one week light (10-12 knots). Good weather. The weather can change a lot during the day. Water: Shallow, Flat. Features: Rooms, Food. Rider ability: Beginner, Intermediate, Expert.
