Mili Atoll Lagoon

Mili Atoll Lagoon is a shallow, sheltered water body in the Marshall Islands characteristic of Pacific atoll lagoons. The satellite imagery shows a protected lagoon with a sandy/shallow bottom visible in the turquoise water on the left, transitioning to deeper blue toward the center. The lagoon is bordered by land to the west, with the water body extending eastward. This spot offers protected, shallow-water conditions ideal for beginners and intermediate riders. The low wind reliability (44.8%) and modest average wind speed (11.6 knots) suggest conditions are inconsistent but manageable when present. Best winds approach from the north, providing side-shore orientation along the western coast. The shallow lagoon environment minimizes wave development but reduces hazard severity from large swell. Riders should be aware of coral structures and shallow areas marked by color variations. This spot suits riders learning wave awareness and managing shallow-water techniques, though stronger wind days may be necessary for advanced progression. Summer months typically offer more consistent trade wind patterns.
