Ujae Atoll

Ujae Atoll is a small atoll lagoon in the Marshall Islands featuring a protected water body surrounded by forested land and shallow sandy/coral bottom. The lagoon faces west with deep water to the west and shallow protected waters to the east. This is a lagoon-style spot with moderate wind reliability (65.5%) and consistent but modest wave conditions averaging 1.61m. The western shoreline provides the primary riding area with side-shore wind conditions from north or south. Best conditions occur during north winds when side-shore alignment is optimal. The spot suits intermediate riders comfortable with lagoon navigation, shallow-water awareness, and variable bottom conditions. Water temperature averages 27.9°C year-round. Key considerations include monitoring tidal variations that affect water depth, avoiding mangrove areas and scattered structures, and respecting the local atoll community. Wind averages 13.7 knots, sufficient for most kitesurfing activities. The rough water conditions and reef hazards require local knowledge or guidance.
