Quality:
- Crystal Clear
Best Tide:
- High Tide


You can sail all through the bay which is approx. 2.5 km wide. In the middle of this lagoon is a small wave spot that has reforming little breaks on a sandbar at high tide, making it ideal for first jumps and rides. At high tide it is possible to ride over the reef out to sea, but this should be avoided unless you are a crack and in need of a special rush.
