Safety

Never kite or windsurf in offshore wind: it pushes you out to sea. At low tide the lagoon gets shallow, with coral and seaweed farms close to the surface. Ride with a local kite centre if you don't know the spot, and keep clear of swimmers and the seaweed farmers.

Wind from the Open-Meteo forecast model at 10 m. Gusts can be stronger near rain clouds.

Il mare sale e scende circa ogni 6 ore. A Zanzibar si osservano normalmente due alte e due basse maree al giorno: la gravità della Luna, insieme a quella del Sole e alla forma della costa, crea questo ritmo. Gli orari e l'ampiezza cambiano ogni giorno.

Sea current – · Swell –. This is a modelled sea-level anomaly from the Open-Meteo marine forecast, not water depth over the reef; reef exposure depends on local reef elevation.
