Mili Atoll

Mili Atoll in the Marshall Islands features a protected lagoon system with a distinctive crescent-shaped sandy beach and dense vegetation cover. The lagoon faces west toward open ocean, with shallow turquoise waters transitioning to deeper blue channels. The spot is characterized by a sheltered interior lagoon separated from ocean swells by reef structures and natural barriers. Wind reliability of 52.2% and average winds of 12.2 knots suggest inconsistent conditions typical of tropical atolls. The 1.30m average wave height indicates gentle to moderate swell penetration into the lagoon. Best wind direction is north (side-shore parallel to beach). This spot suits intermediate riders seeking protected, shallow-water conditions with manageable swell. Hazards include reef navigation, variable depths, strong currents at passes, and dense shoreline vegetation. Water temperature averaging 27.9°C is warm year-round. Planning rides during consistent wind periods and understanding the lagoon's current patterns are essential for safe kitesurfing here.
