Kaginen

Kaginen is a small atoll in the Marshall Islands featuring a sheltered lagoon surrounded by white sand beaches and vegetated land. The lagoon is enclosed by a reef system with a natural opening, creating a semi-protected riding area. The spot experiences consistent trade winds averaging 13.3 knots with 61.4% reliability, though the enclosed lagoon limits fetch and wind consistency. Best conditions occur with northeast to east winds that are side-shore to the primary riding area. The shallow lagoon water (roughly 1-3 meters) and reef structures make this an intermediate spot requiring local knowledge. Kiters should be aware of tidal variations affecting water depth and current flow through the lagoon entrance. The spot suits intermediate riders seeking protected conditions, though the tight space and shallow water demand precision boat handling and awareness of grounding hazards. Access and local regulations should be confirmed before visiting.
