Rote Island Pantai Loedi

Pantai Loedi on Rote Island features a northwest-facing beach with a shallow lagoon system protected by a sandy spit and forested headland. The turquoise lagoon indicates sandy bottom with variable depths and sandbars typical of tropical Indonesian beach breaks. The spot receives consistent swell wrapping around the southern point, though wave heights remain modest (1.32m average). Winds from the northeast (45°) provide ideal side-shore conditions parallel to the main beach. This is a sheltered, beginner-friendly location with calm lagoon water suitable for progression. The low wind reliability (3.8%) and minimal fetch within the protected bay limit wave development. Kiters should be aware of shallow areas throughout the lagoon, navigate around the rocky southern headland, and account for the potential wind shadow created by dense forest backing the beach. Best visited during consistent wind periods from April-October in the dry season.
