About This Spot
Totogegie is located in a shallow atoll lagoon in French Polynesia, characterized by protected water enclosed by coral reef structures. The lagoon faces northeast with water situated toward the northeast quadrant relative to land features. This is a protected lagoon environment typical of Polynesian atolls, offering calm to moderate wave conditions averaging 2.02 meters. The spot suits beginner to early intermediate kiters due to forgiving shallow water and natural wave dampening from surrounding reef. Wind reliability is notably low at 28.7%, making session planning challenging. Average wind of 10 knots provides workable conditions when wind arrives. Best conditions occur with southeast to southeasterly winds (approximately 135-180°), which provide side-shore alignment for safe progression. Kiters should be aware of scattered shallow reefs visible in the lagoon, requiring local knowledge of safe corridors. The rough water type suggests choppy conditions despite low wave heights. Water temperature around 24°C is warm year-round. This spot is suitable for those with some experience navigating reef-affected lagoons.
