How this is modelled
Each figure is the share of days with three consecutive daylight hours at 12 knots or more. A weather model's cell over this place, not a station on it, run over 2023-2024. Good for comparing one place with another, weaker for one beach.
Wind on the beach
What the spot record warns about
- Coral reef and coral patches near the transition to deeper water and in/near the second lagoon.
- Stones and shells in some shallow sections, especially at low tide.
- Very shallow water at low tide can make board starts, jumps, foiling and long fins risky.
- The sandy launch is reported as not very big, so launch/land with staff help and walk into the water before launching.
- N/NW wind may be gusty around the Moevenpick launch because of surrounding buildings.
