Between June and January, wind reliability is over 70%. During these eight months of the year, the trade winds provide ideal kiting conditions with wind speeds between 15 and 25 knots and almost no rain. The best conditions are between August and November. The wind comes from the east/southeast and blows diagonally onshore. Kite sizes between 7m² and 12m² are ideal, with a 9m² kite being the standard size and a 12m² kite being the standard size in the early and late seasons. The air temperature is around 30°C. The sea is warm – you can kitesurf in just board shorts and a Lycra shirt. However, you should always remember to use very good, waterproof sunscreen.
Keep an eye on your calendar for new moon and full moon. At full moon, the lagoon is at its widest and deepest for the entire month. Our kitesurfing and wingfoiling spot changes daily due to the tides, the moon cycle, and wind conditions.
High tide
: At high tide, the lagoon is particularly wide with shallow water. The flat water near the shore is ideal for water starts and first exercises in kite training. Our shallow and calm lagoon makes kitesurfing enjoyable and offers great conditions for freestylers. Advanced kitesurfers can look forward to 500 meters of mirror-smooth water on the windward side of the Pirangi River mouth or ride the ocean waves at the sandbar.
At high tide and preferably during a full moon, the lagoon is a good spot for wingfoil beginners. We particularly recommend our spot for advanced wingfoilers who can enjoy the lagoon, the river mouth, and the open sea.
At low tide, the lagoon dries up and small waves with shallow water form at the sea front.
On the sea, directly behind the lagoon, advanced kitesurfers and wingfoilers will always find conditions for riding.

JUST SUBLIME It is always a great pleasure to come back to paradise for a few days. The whole team is really fantastic, warm and friendly. The breakfasts were sublime. Thank you also, and above all, for the wind, even out of season. Present every day for magnificent kite sessions.
This is a beautiful little place. I stayed for around a week. Lovely rooms, food and friendly service. Lagoon is right next door for kiting. But only available around high tide. Had a fabulous stay.
