About This Spot
Archers Spot is a sheltered lagoon break located on Nauru's eastern coastline, with the water body oriented to the east. The spot features a narrow protected channel separating a shallow inner lagoon from the open ocean beyond. The lagoon bottom contains scattered rocks and reef formations, with several visible obstacles in the immediate kiting zone. The sheltered nature of this lagoon environment provides protection from larger ocean swells and strong currents. Northerly winds deliver side-shore conditions ideal for the protected water. With low average wave heights (1.37m) and modest wind speeds (9.8 knots), this spot suits beginner to early intermediate kiters seeking calmer conditions. The lagoon's shallow depths demand careful route planning to avoid reef contact. Wind reliability at 28.8% suggests inconsistent conditions, with many days insufficient for kitesurfing. The residential development along the shoreline indicates this is an established local spot. Tidal movements significantly influence water flow through the narrow channel, creating variable current patterns. Best sessions occur during neap tides with northerly winds.
