Koro Island

Koro Island's western coastline faces a major open-ocean reef break characterized by consistent white-water formations along a linear ridge. The spot sits at the intersection of deep oceanic water (dark blue) and a shallow reef system (turquoise), creating distinct bathymetric zones. The beach area provides limited landing space, with dense vegetation immediately inland restricting rider bailout zones. Wind reliability of 27.3% indicates highly variable conditions typical of tropical island locations. Average waves of 0.95m suggest modest swell energy, though reef exposure and fetch from open ocean can generate steeper wave faces than average heights indicate. Average winds of 9.5 knots are marginal for most kitesurfing activities. This spot suits advanced riders with reef awareness and strong recovery skills. Northerly winds provide side-shore conditions, though prevailing wind patterns appear inconsistent. Water conditions favor experienced kiters comfortable with rough-chop transitions and potential hold-downs in reef zones. Launch and landing logistics are challenging given beach constraints.
