Clear water, light blue. Sometimes a little dirty. Lagoon spot protected by a reef in upwind direction. Spot excellent for beginners, since it is possible to stand everywhere. Few small reef waves out the back and if you kite up-wind (N, NE) very uncrowded even in high season with a nice, small wave. No problem if something breaks as side onshore winds bring you back to the beach.

Season starts around mid-late November and ends in March/April. The wind blows not very consistent, but it's a really nice spot. When it does blow (10-12m) it's really good fun.
