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
- shallow reef/sandbank sections
- boat traffic on lagoon crossings
- stronger summer wind can be gusty/powerful for beginners
- Fishing nets and marked buoys/flags in the lagoon
- Jellyfish can occur; they may sting but are not dangerous
- Rays and jellyfish in shallow water are flagged
