Shallow reef creating wave breaks, suited for experienced riders
About This Spot
Mou is located on a tropical island coast in the South Pacific, featuring an extensive coral reef system fronting the shoreline. The coast faces east toward open ocean, with a shallow lagoon separated from deep water by the reef structure. The spot offers a distinct two-zone setup: a sheltered lagoon with turquoise water over living coral, and deeper waters beyond the reef edge. Best conditions occur with north or south winds that provide side-shore orientation. The reef creates both protection and hazard—while it breaks large swells into manageable waves, the shallow coral-laden water requires precise navigation and foot awareness. Wave heights average 1.2m, suitable for intermediate to advanced riders. The low wind reliability (7.5%) means sessions are infrequent. This spot suits experienced kiters comfortable with reef awareness and shallow-water handling. Strong currents flow along the reef edge, particularly around the deeper channels visible in the satellite imagery. Limited development along the coast suggests relatively protected conditions but requires self-sufficiency.
