Launch notes

The flat water lagoon provides ideal launching conditions for beginners with forgiving depths. ENE to NE winds are most consistent; avoid launching during SSW/SW wind days when conditions become choppy.

Gear & clothing

Gear · Bring 14-17m kites for the moderate 9.3kt average winds; a freestyle or all-around board suits the flat water perfectly. Consider a mid-size quiver to handle the seasonal wind variation.

Clothing · A 2-3mm wetsuit works year-round given the subtropical climate; summer months (Jan, Feb) may allow boardshorts only. Winter months (Jun, Jul) benefit from a thicker suit despite mild temperatures.

Crowd & etiquette

Respect local fishing activity and stay clear of designated fishing zones within the lagoon. Keep communication open with other kiters and maintain awareness of swimmers in peak season.

Additional notes

Best conditions occur November through December and August through October with consistent NE winds. The 223 windy days annually make this highly accessible, though plan visits around the peak afternoon wind window for optimal sessions.
