Nothing has been measured or modelled for this place: twelve months and no figure in any of them. The months riders name are all there is.

Wind on the beach

Side-onshore in both seasons: the N/NE Kaskazi and the S/SE Kuzi both come in along the beach with an onshore component, giving clean unobstructed wind over the lagoon.

What the spot record warns about

  • reef at low tide
  • similar general hazards to Diani but less crowded
  • Outer reef and coral heads, especially around low tide
  • Sea urchins, broken shells and rocks underfoot; reef shoes recommended if walking or still body-dragging upwind
  • Large tidal range and changing depth; full high tide can mean deep water, chop and shore break
  • Beach strip can become narrow or disappear at full high tide
