Hazards

Shallow coral reefs and rocks near shore—scout the launch area carefully and wear reef bootiesBoat traffic and local fishing vessels in the bay—maintain awareness and stay clear of shipping lanesLight, inconsistent wind on many days—check forecasts; average 7.6 kts requires disciplined kite controlSudden wind lulls common in tropical settings—stay close to launch for quick exits

Launch notes

Launch from the sandy beach during calm, flat-water conditions typical of the protected bay. Favorable wind directions (NE, ENE, NNE) make launches straightforward; avoid SW winds that may blow offshore.

Gear & clothing

Gear · Bring a 17m and 14m kite to handle variable tropical winds averaging 7.6 kts. A directional board or small wave board suits the flat water and light wind; consider a hydrofoil for the lightest days.

Clothing · Wear a thin 2mm wetsuit or rashguard—water is warm year-round (26–29°C), but sun protection is essential. Quick-dry shorts and reef booties are practical for shallow-water launches.

Crowd & etiquette

Respect local fishermen and keep clear of traditional fishing areas. Yield to swimmers and boats, and coordinate with other kiters to avoid tangled lines in the compact bay.

Additional notes

Best wind occurs Feb, Jul, Sep, Jan, Oct, Nov; plan trips during these months for consistent sessions. Check local weather closely due to only ~24 windy days per year; many sessions may require patience or alternative water sports.
