Historical averages by month — not a live forecast.
The dominant wind comes from the Southwest (SW), ideal in side-on or cross-onshore for the main beach. It strengthens in the afternoon due to the thermal effect, often reaching 18-25 knots in high season. The launch area is wide on the long white beach, with plenty of space for takeoff and landing.
To the south of the lagoon, there is an excellent flat in 0.3 to 2 meters of depth, perfect for freestyle or cautious beginners. Further out, on the reef, waves can reach up to 5 meters, with a slow break without tubes, suitable for wave riding. Avoid the northern area reserved for windsurfers, or risk a fine.
Tides have little influence on the shallow lagoon, but at low tide, the reef becomes more exposed. Stay away from Edward Island to avoid wind shadows and strong currents. The spot is versatile: flat in the southern lagoon, choppy in the center, and waves on the outer reef.
