White Sands

White Sands is located on the southeastern coast of Vanuatu, characterized by a narrow peninsular landform with dense tropical forest covering. The spot faces northeast into open ocean conditions with consistent swell exposure. The western side features a shallow lagoon with calmer water, while the eastern shoreline receives direct ocean swell with visible white water activity. The beach break configuration offers sand-bottom conditions suitable for progression but demands respect for ocean dynamics. Best conditions occur with northwest winds that provide side-shore alignment across the main break. The low wind reliability (14.1%) and modest average wind speed (8.1 knots) suggest this spot works best during seasonal wind shifts or when tropical systems enhance wind patterns. Water temperatures average 25.1°C year-round. This intermediate-level spot suits riders comfortable with small to medium waves and variable conditions. Kiters should scout shallow reef areas and respect the exposed ocean fetch on the downwind side. The lagoon offers a safer practice zone during lighter wind conditions.
