Flat water on some parts of the lagoon, but those parts can be extremely shallow, so be careful. There is deeper (but choppy) water further out. There are notable wind channels because of the land upwind, so the area with strong wind is not always the same as the area with flat water. Very long, sandy spit between ocean and 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). Shorts all year with water around 29°C. Water: Shallow, Flat, Chop, Smallwave, Mediumwave. Features: None. Rider ability: Beginner, Intermediate, Expert.
