Koroxu Bay

Koroxu Bay is a protected lagoon bay system in New Caledonia characterized by turquoise shallow waters bordered by dense tropical forest. The bay faces northwest, with a natural sandy beach forming the visible shoreline. The enclosed bay configuration provides some protection but limits wind exposure. Best conditions occur with northeasterly to easterly winds (side-shore at approximately 45°), though the area experiences relatively low wind reliability at 32.1%. Average waves of 1.90m suggest modest swell penetration. The shallow lagoon waters and visible sandbar formations indicate variable depth conditions requiring local knowledge. This spot suits intermediate riders seeking protected conditions and light wind sessions. The combination of modest fetch distance, shallow waters, and variable wind patterns makes this a technical bay spot rather than ideal for progression. Low wind days are frequent, making reliable session planning challenging. Riders should be aware of potential coral structures and shifting sand formations typical of New Caledonian lagoon systems.
