Perfect flat water. Possible small waves over the reef break. Tide 10 meters range. Sail between tides is not good (strong current). Try to get the high or low tide, then the current stops. Bigger or smaller waves on the seaside, and inside the lagoon perfect flat water. In the big backside of the lagoon you can find flat water without any hazards or current the whole day.
