More opened than Lagoon Resort, better wind. Winds are trades mainly from the SE. In winter they can be boosted by the high pressure systems and avg 18-22 kts. Summer trades are generally lighter in the 12-15 kts range. The best option for trade winds is Akaiami. The summer time trade winds blow stronger than in Rarotonga, locals told me that seems to be a kind of cycle with one week strong wind and then one week light (10-12 knots).
