Hazards

Shallow flat water requires awareness of sandbars and sudden depth changesLow wind consistency (4.4 kts average) means frequent underpowered sessionsStrong currents common in this coastal estuary areaOccasional boat traffic in the lagoon waters

Launch notes

The flat water estuary offers ideal beginner conditions with minimal waves. Launch from the sandy beach when SW or SSW winds are present, as these are the most consistent directions for this spot.

Gear & clothing

Gear · Bring a 14-17m kite for the light average winds; a 19m+ kite is essential for lighter wind days. Use a twintip or directional board suited for flat water progression and beginner-friendly control.

Clothing · A 3/2mm wetsuit is ideal during the cooler winter months (Jun-Aug); switch to a 2/2mm or light spring suit during peak season (Sep-Dec) as water temperatures are warm. Consider rash guards for sun protection in this tropical latitude.

Crowd & etiquette

Keep distance from other water users and local fishermen operating in the area. Respect any marked swimming zones and avoid launching during peak tourist hours.

Additional notes

Wind is most reliable during the Southern Hemisphere spring and summer (Aug-Dec); plan visits around these months for consistent conditions. Check local tide tables as shallow water spots are significantly affected by tidal changes.
