Wind on the beach

cross-offshore

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.
