Sangafa

Sangafa is a reef-exposed kitesurfing spot located on the eastern coast of Vanuatu, facing northeast into the open ocean. The site features a dramatic transition from a shallow coral lagoon system (shown in turquoise) to deep water (dark blue), with visible reef structure creating multiple break zones. The coastline runs roughly southwest to northeast, with forested terrain backing the shore. The reef system creates both opportunities and constraints: it provides natural wave formation but requires careful navigation to avoid coral contact. With average wind of 11.9 knots and moderate reliability (48%), conditions can be variable. Northwest winds provide optimal side-shore conditions for safe kite control. The spot suits intermediate riders comfortable with reef hazards and variable wind patterns. Water temperature averages 26.6°C. Kiters should be familiar with reef navigation, understand local currents, and avoid low-wind periods when drift toward shallow areas becomes risky. Best conditions typically occur during consistent trade wind seasons.
