A spot for sailing, as OpenStreetMap maps it, on a shore facing S. Wind from the S blows onshore, wind from the N blows out to sea, and wind from the W or E runs along the shore. It is sheltered to the open sea. The sea is about 26°C in September, its coldest month (no wetsuit), and 29°C in February, its warmest (no wetsuit). The town to stay in is Teahupoo.
