Very remote, impossible without a boat. Lovely spot, sometimes great wave. The pass has AMAZING diving and shark seeing. The lagoon is about 50x20km big. Lots of areas with beautiful and flat water. Reefs with waves around the lagoon. Stronger currents at the passages to the north and south. Many launches around the lagoon. Trade months (and best winds) are June to October. Warm all year round. Water: Shallow, Flat, Smallwave, Mediumwave. Features: None. Rider ability: Beginner, Intermediate, Expert.
