Majuro Island

Majuro Lagoon is a large atoll lagoon system in the Marshall Islands with a curved residential peninsula enclosing shallow, protected waters. The lagoon faces west toward the open Pacific, with the developed settlement occupying a narrow strip of land. The water is shallow with visible reef structures and depth variations indicated by the color gradients from turquoise to deeper blue. This is a protected lagoon environment rather than open ocean exposure. Wind reliability is moderate at 57.1% with average winds around 12.6 knots. Best conditions occur with north winds providing side-shore conditions. Wave heights average 1.43m with rough water characteristics, likely influenced by fetch limitations and reef interactions. The spot suits beginners due to shallow, protected waters, though navigating around reef structures and residential areas requires local knowledge. Tidal cycles significantly affect water depth and flow patterns. The narrow entrance channel concentrates water movement and may create acceleration zones. Access points are limited to designated areas near the settlement.
