What the spot record warns about

  • The mangrove side by the fishermen's village is reportedly gusty and turbulent; the exact claim is unconfirmed.
  • reef further offshore
  • Coral reef and reef waves outside/at the bay entrance; best for experienced riders.
  • Very strong peak-season wind from June to September; smaller kites often needed.
  • Low-tide sandbanks and shallow areas can be grounding hazards, especially at speed or on foil.
  • Remote access via sandy/unpaved track; stay in contact with local schools/resorts for logistics and emergencies.
