Water
Type:
- Shallow
- Flat
- Chop
Hazards:
- Animals
- Currents
- Reefs
- Corals

Quality:
- Crystal Clear
Best Tide:
- High Tide


Very wide and shallow lagoon that can only be ridden at high tide, but this is quite a unique experience as the water is still fairly shallow. This gives for very smooth conditions and hardly any chop even in the strongest of winds. Make sure to ride there only on the highest tidal levels, as some fields of urchins nearer the reef will make you regret it if you don'’t. Beware of the westerly, or downwind area of this lagoon, here the current gets strong towards the channel in the reef, and has sucked out many unaware bathers.
