Wanyaan Beach

Wanyaan Beach is located on a barrier reef system in Micronesia, characterized by a steep offshore reef wall visible in the satellite imagery. The coast faces west toward the lagoon, with shallow turquoise waters transitioning sharply to deep blue ocean beyond the reef edge. This is a reef break spot with significant depth changes and exposed coral structure. The narrow white line visible in the image represents the reef's top and surrounding structure. Best wind conditions come from the north (0°) or south (180°), providing side-shore orientation relative to the westward-facing coast. With average waves of 1.26m and low wind reliability at 22.1%, conditions are marginal and inconsistent. The spot is suited for advanced to expert kiters comfortable navigating reef hazards, strong currents, and variable wind. Water temperature averages 28.2°C. Entry and exit require careful route planning to avoid sharp coral. This location requires local knowledge and experience with reef environments before attempting.
