Wind Days = % of days with 12–35 knot average wind speed (ideal kiting conditions). Based on 4 years of historical weather data.
Protected shallow water, typically flat and ideal for learning or freestyle
This New Caledonian lagoon spot features a protected reef system with shallow turquoise waters typical of South Pacific atolls. The coastline is oriented northeast-southwest, with the lagoon opening toward the northeast. The satellite imagery shows a white sand beach bordered by dense mangrove vegetation, with a fringing coral reef creating a natural barrier. Water conditions appear relatively calm with moderate chop from limited fetch. The lagoon's shallow depths and protected nature make it suitable for beginners and intermediate riders seeking forgiving conditions. Wind reliability is modest at 45.8%, suggesting inconsistent conditions. Best wind direction is northwest (315°), providing side-shore conditions parallel to the beach. Kiters should be aware of variable water depths, coral hazards, and the enclosed lagoon environment which limits wind acceleration. The spot works best during consistent trade wind periods. Local knowledge of tidal variations and reef passages is advisable before riding.
