The water is choppy on the east side of the lagoon. There are trees along the east side of the lagoon. The wind is usually pretty gusty here, since it passes over land upwind. The wind is clean only when it comes from the West or WSW, which only happens occasionally during the main season (May through September). During the rainy season (December through February), the wind here can however become just as clean as in the Kappalady lagoons to the south. However, the winds during the rainy season are typically weaker and not as reliable as the winds during the dry main season (May through September). The wind can be funky there (it can be hard to keep your kite in the air when launching and landing). For better conditions, kite across the lagoon to the west side, where there are some areas of flat water. The wind is better there but still gusty because of the land and obstructions upwind. Shorts all year with water around 29°C. Water: Shallow, Chop. Features: Rooms, School, Repair, Rental, Shower, Toilet, Food, Parking. Rider ability: Beginner, Intermediate, Expert.
