Ringed months are the ones riders and schools name: Jan, Feb, Mar, Jun, Jul, Aug, Sep, 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
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
