Best wind consistency occurs during May through October (dry season); plan visits during these months for optimal conditions. Always hire a local guide familiar with tides, currents, and reef hazards before heading out.

Launch from the flat water beach with consistent trade winds from the east and northeast. The protected lagoon offers ideal beginner conditions with minimal current and predictable conditions throughout most of the year.

Respect local marine conservation areas and stay clear of swimming tourists. Always check with local guides about protected reef zones and seasonal restrictions.

A thin rash guard or lightweight wetsuit provides sun protection and minor thermal insulation; water remains warm year-round around 27-29°C. Reef shoes are highly recommended for sharp coral protection.
