Flat to choppy water. Fairly shallow waters possible. Beware of the outer areas of this lagoon as the bottom is covered with fragile and sharp "stag horn" types of corals. To the left is a pass (La Passe "Du Puis") in the reef here, that offers surfable waves in summer when the winds are slack. This wave is a right hander, fast and tubular in shape, and no place for beginners. The current in the channel is potent, and has to be avoided at all costs when paddling back in.
