Level: Intermediate, Expert

Type: Ocean, Lagoon

Water type: Shallow, Flat, Chop

Water hazards: Currents, Ships, Buoys

Water quality: Clean

Infos: Mind the nature reserve area. Flat to choppy water. Lots of shallow water. Tidal. Attention: The current can be very dangerous, especially when the water flow out of the lagoon (from high to low tide). It is the most dangerous with winds from the East. When you're in trouble, the current and the wind will push you out to the sea. So, absolutely nothing for beginners and never ride alone!

Water: May to August fine (a shorty will do), from September to April you need a wetsuit, in December/January it can get cold (around 0C). January to August unpredictable, can be anything. September to December usually cloudy/rainy weather though in this period, especially when there's wind.

Wind type: Frontal

Wind specificities: Best winds (Westerlies) from fall to spring with any wind speed possible.
