Water
Type:
Shallow, Flat, Chop
Hazards:
Animals, Currents, Reefs, Corals
Quality:
Crystal Clear
Best Tide:
High Tide

Very wide and shallow lagoon that can only be ridden at high tide, but this is quite a unique experience as the water is still fairly shallow. This gives for very smooth conditions and hardly any chop even in the strongest of winds. Make sure to ride there only on the highest tidal levels, as some fields of urchins nearer the reef will make you regret it if you don'’t. Beware of the westerly, or downwind area of this lagoon, here the current gets strong towards the channel in the reef, and has sucked out many unaware bathers.

Best winds from June to October. During cyclone season it can blow 15-25 kts many days per week. This bay works well on most east oriented winds and can accept wind shifts better than further down the coast.
