Ringed months are the ones riders and schools name: Jan, May, Jun, Jul, Aug, Sep, Oct, Nov, Dec.
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.
riders' months
Riders and schools name these months. The model reads lower here, and both are shown rather than averaged.
Wind on the beach
What the spot record warns about
- Open Pacific beach with chop and waves; not a flat-water or standing-depth lagoon.
- High tide can reduce launch and landing space.
- Shorebreak matters for beginners: on the northern side the waves break close to shore, which is where learners train, while the water off the point suits advanced riders and its waves arrive from farther out
- A reef/wave feature is reported about 200 m offshore.
- No formal rescue service for independent kiters is published.
- Strong equatorial sun; cover up even on the days you need no wetsuit
