riders' months
Riders and schools name these months. The model reads lower here, and both are shown rather than averaged.
Wind on the beach
cross-onshore.
- The mainland beach faces roughly east onto the bay, so the south-easterly trade arrives side-onshore from the right and the north-easterly side-onshore from the left.
- West through south-west is the offshore quadrant: it blows straight off the land, out across the flats towards the channels and the islands, and it is the direction to sit out unless you have a boat behind you.
What the spot record warns about
- tidal currents in the channel toward Bazarutostrong tidal currents in channels, especially when the tide turns
- boat traffic (dhows, dive/fishing boats)
- shifting sandbankslarge spring tide range and rapidly changing exposed sandbanks
- sun exposure over long shallow flats
