Enam

Enam is a coastal kitesurfing spot on Vanuatu's southeastern shore, facing open ocean waters with direct exposure to Pacific swells. The coastline meets roughly southeast-facing ocean with a narrow beach strip bordered by dense tropical vegetation. The spot features consistent ocean swell with visible white water indicating regular wave activity, though average wave height of 1.59m suggests variable conditions. The rocky outcrops and reef structure visible along the shoreline create natural features that can affect water flow and wind patterns. With low wind reliability at 12.7%, sessions are dependent on optimal wind windows, typically from the northeast sector for side-shore conditions. Best wind direction is approximately 45° (northeast). Enam suits intermediate kiters who can manage open ocean conditions and navigate around coastal hazards. The combination of strong water movement, unprotected beach entry, and variable wind makes this a challenging spot requiring good wave awareness and self-rescue skills. Local knowledge of tidal influences and seasonal wind patterns is advisable.
